About My Skin: Combination and Prone to Dullness

I live for hydrated, happy, healthy-looking skin—but my combination skin can get sallow-looking and a bit dull if I don’t attend to it properly. That’s exactly why I’ve been a fan of the entire GinZing collection for years: I want my tired, sleepy skin to feel and look refreshed. I’m thrilled with the long-lasting radiance and moisture I see after using the new  GinZing Energizing Moisturizer.

The Feel: Lightweight and Refreshing

Gel-Cream formulas are always my favorite, as they wake up the look of skin in such a beautiful way. This one  leaves my skin feeling hydrated, and offers a glowing finish. All you need to do is apply a pea-sized amount to your forehead, cheeks, and chin. Gently pat it into your skin and wait a few minutes before applying your next step to allow the moisturizer to absorb.

The Scent: Citrusy

The sensorial experience with this product is divine thanks to an essential oil blend of orange, grapefruit, lemon, and spearmint. It’s the perfect wake-up call for your skin.

The Ingredients: All the Good Stuff

• Vitamin C: Newly added to the formula, antioxidant rich plant-derived vitamin C helps provide long-term radiance.
• Niacinamide: Niacinamide—a form of vitamin B3—is featured as a synthetic key ingredient to help boost skin’s moisture barrier .
• Caffeine: Caffeine from coffee beans helps energize, refresh and restore radiance to tired-looking skin.
• Three Forms of Panax Ginseng: The mix of fermented Golden Panax Ginseng (which the brand says helps brighten the look of skin) and Red Panax Ginseng (recommended to help support your skin’s natural collagen) help to give skin a glow.

Additionally, the blend of White Panax Ginseng and caffeine from coffee beans is part of what the brand is calling "Vital-Synthesis Technology," which is said to help support a more revitalized, radiant look over time. 

The Results: Energized-Looking Skin

After weeks of daily use, my skin feels incredibly supple and looks glowy. It’s a pleasure to apply in the morning (although you can use it at night, too!) to wake up the look of my skin and give my face a necessary boost of radiance and moisture.

The Value: Worth It

At $36 for 1.7 ounces, this product is a great deal. Some more expensive moisturizers only offer 1 ounce per product.

The Final Verdict: I'm Sold

Overall, I absolutely recommend this product. It’s lightweight, smells great, and won’t put a significant dent in my bank account. I love the way it feels when I apply it in the morning, and I’ve noticed more radiant, moisturized skin in the weeks I’ve been using it. If you’re looking for something to help wake up tired-looking skin, Origins’ GinZing Energizing Gel Cream is for you.
