Origins by Luxurience Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer: A Review

It can be difficult to find the perfect facial moisturizer. One that feels nice, smells nice, is affordable, and, most importantly, creates noticeable results! I'm always up to try a new face moisturizer, so when Luxurience Skin Care sent me a 1 oz bottle of their own anti-aging moisturizer, I was all for it!

Here's what Luxurience, a brand new skincare line, has to say about their product:

And, here's the full ingredients list:

Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Deionized Water, Witch Hazel Extract, Glycerol Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Shea Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, PEG-8, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate VP Copolymer, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, PPG-12 SMDI/Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Peppermint Oil, Green Tea Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate 

To me, these ingredients are just so-so. I was super nervous to try this product because it has peppermint extract in it, which can irritate the skin. The green tea extract is great, though it also is far down on the ingredients list, meaning that it contains very little (ingredients lists always go from most - least % in the product). The first ingredient is glycerin, which pulls moisture into the skin. Witch hazel extract is also pretty close to the top, which I have mixed feelings about.. while it does help tone the skin, it also can be a bit drying.. however, I'm not saying, right now, that just because it's in the product, it means that this moisturizer is drying. I mean, the product also has shea butter, which is super hydrating and can help balance out the witch hazel. Chemistry is a crazy thing, my people, and the thing with ingredients list is that you never really know until you try it.

So, I tried it..

Like I said, I was initially nervous to try this product, as I was afraid that the peppermint would irritate my sensitive, fair skin. But I had to, so I did... and it didn't irritate it at all! In fact, the peppermint felt nice and refreshing on my skin. Also, the airless pump releases the perfect amount of moisturizer in one pump. Because of the peppermint, the product smells wonderful.

And, how does it feel? Pretty good, actually. This product absorbs very quickly, so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all... nor is the texture very heavy. Yet, it left my skin feeling nicely hydrated and smooth.

Overall....

I actually quite enjoy this product. Though I am still a bit leery of the so-so ingredients list, I did like the way it felt on my skin. Now, do I think this product will make me look 17 again? Not likely, but its also not very likely that any product will... not even botox.

Also, I must say that they really should re-do their packaging. I hate to say that I judge a book by its cover, because it's just awful, but I am only human, unfortunately, and this product label screams boring. I suggest they add some color and, well... "oomph?" 

You can purchase this refreshingly yummy moisturizer here on amazon. For $27.95, it's a nice stocking stuffer or christmas gift for your loved one. Plus, they have a 100% money back guarantee... what's not to lose?
