~~~ORIGINS A PERFECT WORLD ANTIOXIDANT MOISTURIZER WITH WHITE TEA~~~PERFECT FOR DRY TO SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES

Written: Oct 07 '06 (Updated Oct 17 '06)
The Bottom Line: Protect skin from future damage while deeply hydrating at the same time with this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea. Pamper your skin today!

After being a major Origins fan there for a few years, I took a break as I wanted to try some new skin care products from other department store brands along the way. But recently, I've went back to them as they offer two of my all time favorite items: Origins A Perfect World White Tea Skin Guardian and the Origins A Perfect World for Eyes. Both have been re-purchased countless times. Only there are other products in their A Perfect World line that I've always wanted to try but just never got around to it. Recently, however, that all changed as I bought a full sized jar of the Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea. For I'd used samples sizes in the past and it seemed like a perfect choice. Read on to find out more about a high quality facial moisturizer that works best for dry and/or aging skin types.


~~~The Facial Moisturizer~~~

This Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea not only protects the skin from further damage with it's age defying ingredients, but it also provides moderate hydration for the skin at the same time. According to product advertising: What’s your skin’s future? Consult the tea leaves. New research at several major universities has proven that world-famous White Tea is among the most potent antioxidants, anti-agers, anti-stress, anti-smoke, anti-pollution antidotes. Now its perfect-protective powers are energized and optimized while skin is deeply moisturized. Ferment of Sugarcane acts like a mini-sparkplug to up skin’s ability to neutralize free radicals before they deface skin. Murumuru Butter maximizes skin’s moisture barrier. Rosehip Oil hydrates. Centella Asiatica firms. Vitamin C brightens and helps even out skin tone. And aromatic Mimosa, Orange, Bergamot and Spearmint fortify the feel-good factor. Keep your skin in A Perfect World™ 24/7. The product itself is very thick and creamy in texture, so it's no surprise that the moisturizer is concentrated to go a long way. It's light peach in color and features that same unique scent the other A Perfect World products in the same line also has. Much heavier than lotion type moisturizers, this one means serious business. So no doubt those with super oily skin will find this to be way too much, especially during the warm weather months. But for those needing extra moisture where they can get it, this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea is worth a shot at least once.


~~~Packaging, Price, & Availability~~~

Pick up a 1.7 ounce (50 ml) green colored jar of this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea at the Origins counter of your favorite fine department store or online at places like origins.com or gloss.com for $35.00 each. Yes, it's quite expensive in price, but so are most other similar moisturizers in this class. For the price, however, it's not my favorite, but it's still a luxury skin care product I like to use when in need of a bit of pampering. I'm spoiled and prefer facial moisturizers with one of those handy pump dispensers, so the one thing I dislike the most about this one is that there's only a white twist off lid and no pump. The outside part of the jar looks oval shaped, but once the lid comes off, the container itself holding the product is actually more round like a circle. You must dip a clean finger into the jar to retrieve the moisturizer, so sometimes it's easy to remove too much with no pump to regulate the amount used. The plain ORIGINS logo is printed across the front and the jar itself is recyclable. It's very small though, so there's little waste if thrown away.

~~~Product Experience~~~

Twice a day use of this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea is recommended according to their directions for use: To up your skin's anti: Apply your Antioxidant moisturizer after A Perfect World™ White tea skin guardian morning and night. Dermatologist and Ophthalmologically tested. Best for combination, dry and sensitive skin. Right away, I discovered that day use of this highly concentrated skin moisturizer is too heavy for me. I like to wear a thin layer of a light moisturizer under my foundation, but this stuff is just way too thick and concentrated for that. So instead, I use it just once a day instead of twice at night only before bedtime. That way I can apply a generous layer and let the extra hydration do it's work over night. The product itself is very creamy and applies easily in a smooth circular motion with the fingertips. It absorbs fairly quickly but you can still feel it sort of just "sitting" on top of the skin after it dries. To me, it's almost greasy, but this doesn't really matter when wearing it to bed. The scent is a bit strong and citrus-like, so those preferring lighter fragrances might not enjoy this one. So with just once daily usage in the evening verses both morning and night, my jar of this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea will no doubt last for many more weeks.


~~~Overall Recommendation~~~

Give your skin the pampering it craves today with this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea. For not only does it provide the extra hydration that dry and/or aging skin types require, but the special ingredients actually help protect the skin from future environmental damage. The wind, air, and sun can all wreck havoc on the skin, so why not protect it where you can? Softer and smoother skin is just a few applications away. Super dry skin types can probably get away with twice daily usage, but for me since I do tend to get slightly oily still from time to time, it's way too heavy for day wear. I've noticed no ugly breakouts from clogged pores and my sometimes sensitive skin does not burn or itch when I use this luxurious facial hydrator. In conclusion, I recommend this Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea for those times you need both serious moisture and extra protections from the elements at the same time. Four stars, however, instead of five, as I'd prefer a pump dispenser to dipping my fingers inside the wide mouthed jar. Good luck and happy online Beauty product shopping :-)
