Jason Natural C-Effects Anti-Wrinkle Day Lotion SPF 30

Lately I've been looking for a facial lotion to replace my Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Anti-Aging moisturizer. My skin loves the Olay product. Unfortunately, Olay is not cruelty-free. So I decided to try out Jason Natural's C-Effects Anti-Wrinkle Day Lotion with SPF 30.

Price: 5/5
It was around $15 at my local Sprouts which is definitely cheaper than what I would pay for Olay.
And you get more product.
Olay is only 1.7 fl oz. Jason Naturals gives you 4 fl. oz.
WAY better.

Packaging: 5/5
I love that it has a pump. This combined with the opaque bottle keeps the antioxidants stable and preserves the life of the product. Plus it keeps out bacteria. Yay!

Performance: 4/5
A little goes a long way with this one. The texture is lovely and I didn't have to work to blend it in. I was worried since it had a high SPF that it would leave a white cast but it didn't! Once on, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. I was able to apply makeup right after too.
But...it made me look shiny later.
I have combination skin that has been rather dry recently due to the winter weather. If this made me look shiny in WINTER then I know I'll look like a slime-ball come summer time.
Unfortunately, this one is going back :(

Overall: 4/5
If you have very dry skin, I say give Jason Natural's C-Effects Anti-Wrinkle Day Lotion a shot.
It didn't break me out, it's very moisturizing, and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Plus it kinda smells like oranges...if you're into that kind of thing ;)

*Note:  This moisturizer contains fragrances that may be irritating to some people. It didn't irritate my skin but it's something to consider before buying, especially if you have sensitive skin.
