I don't usually spend money on skincare, I got into origins because of the mostly vegan makeup.

Anyway I tested out the matte scientist moisturiser on my nose and it felt amazing - really silky and matte - but I'm reluctant to spend £17.50 on a moisturizer I only want to use on my nose (the rest of my skin is dry). I tested the Zero Oil mattifier which is cheaper and only for mattifying the t-zone, but for some reason it wasn't nearly as good. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried origins moisturiser - the matte scientist one or the balanced diet one which is for combination skin?

I've never tried the products you mentioned but I LOVE origins. I use their scrubs and "never say dry" face moisturizer because I get very dry skin in the winter.

I haven't used the products you listed either, but I've tried a lot of other origins things from lipgloss to serums and they are all amazing. Origins never let you down so just buy it and you won't be diasappointed. The ingredients are the best and it smells so good!

I wear the ginger fragrance in summer but I find it too citrussy for winter. The primer is nice too. I want to try the concealer as it's apparently sweat-proof, which means it must have good lasting power.

I've spend the last year or so not moisturising because I didn't think I needed it, but I do in winter at least. I've worked out that the Matte scientist moisturizer works out cheaper in the long run, than the Zero Oil. So I might get it, and if it works on the dry bits it'd be a bonus - I'm skeptical though, not many things work on combination skin, it's a bit much to expect of one product!

My nose isn't that oily but it's pore-y and shiny at times. My cheeks are a bit rashy too so I don't like anything too rich. I'll test out the combination skin one before making a decision, I like sort of milky moisturisers on the dry parts. I've tried the Clinique pore thing, it was okay, but I REALLY like the origins Matte moisturiser. The Body Shop used to do a really nice one for combination skin, but that was years ago and I don't shop there anymore.
