the packaging: since i got this as sample, there was no box. it just came in a pink plastic tube with white screw cap. this one is smaller compared to the other moisturizer that i have. it only comes in 15 ml which is unusual since usually moisturizer is weighed in grams. there's a bit description at the back in english and french. i don't remember whether or not it comes with seal on the tube opening but even though there's no seal, it came home safely.
this is the description from the website: a deliciously hydrating matte moisturizer that softens, smooths and visibly minimizes pores for a gorgeously glowing look. infused with willowherb, this lush water cream boosts hydration, visibly events tone, refines texture and visibly minimizes pores. with a natural matte finish, it leaves skin looking soft, smooth, fresh and vibrant.

the scent: i can't pinpoint what kind of scent it is. sometimes it smells a bit fruity like citrus, but sometimes it has a hint of herbal scent to it.

the product: it's a cloudy white gel cream but sometimes i think it has a hint of pinkish tone to it. it spreads easily over my skin and absorbed very quickly in no time. since this is only a sample size, this tube only lasts me about almost 10-14 days. i only use this once a day during night time.

the result: as this is labelled as matte moisturizer, i have to say that it lives up the claim. it does give matte finish without any sticky feeling behind. sometimes i wonder do i put moisturizer enough since i don't see any sign of moisture or glow even after using this moisturizer. but i think it's enough since i'm not waking up looking super oily in the morning.

anyway.. this is a good moisturizer for someone who likes matte finish because this moisturizer does give matte finish. but if you like more glowy finish, don't try this one because even though i put face oil underneath it, it absorbs all the glow from the oil. i don't see any traces of oil after putting the moisturizer on top of it. though i use this night time only, it can be used during daytime as many people tends to like matte finish over glowy one. but if you have dry skin, i don't think it would be enough. as for the ingredients, i'm quite surprised when i found out that this one has alcohol denat and even dimethicone. i guess the matte finish and fast absorbing properties are because of those ingredients. it also has a lot of essential oil which is not so many people like about it. so, i guess it's obvious that i won't purchase this in full size. but if you like origins so much, and have the budget to do so, then you should try it. but if you don't have spare budget, just skip it.
