Apply serum AM & PM on clean skin. If you experience brief tingling or minor sloughing, don't be concerned - this is normal:
- Origins 5% Retexturizing Complex gently resurfaces skin and gives cell turnover a jumpstart. As the product activates on skin, you may experience minor sloughing upon application; superficial dead skin cells are combining with the product and being lifted off to unveil smoother, brighter skin.
- To minimize sloughing, gently pat (don't rub) serum into skin.
- Wait until skin is dry and serum is fully absorbed before applying moisturizer; if sloughing does occur, simply sweep away with fingertips.
- If irritation occurs, limit frequency of use and if it persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
- Avoid eye area.
- Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using and the week after.

Glowy Skin
When I first started using this, I was skeptical about the brightening effects because I've tried ones in the past and don't notice a difference. To note, my skin is on the oily side so it tends to get really dull easily, so I am definitely trying to look for something that isn't heavy and can make ...

Big Disappointment
I wanted to try something new to see if there is something better than what I already use. Origin was my go to brand for a lot of skin care items since early 2000s. I don't know what has happened, but a lot of the great products were either discontinued or changed in formula. Some of the newer produ...

Favorite skin care product
I've used this product for years and have always loved it. It has multiple ingredients that usually only come in single serums; hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, caffeine, and plant oils to calm the skin. Meaning you don't have to have a complex regimen if you use this. My face is always hydrated, smooth, and glowing when I use this product. It also helps with some of the fine lines around my eyes. I forgot how wonderful it was till I switched to the Ordinary because someone recommended it. Sure The Ordinary was cheaper but I had to buy several bottles of serum to match what this one bottle can do. Also my skin was not near as brilliant and the serum would flake off with other products. When I switched back to Orgins Ginzing serum, I immediately remembered why I love it so much. The results are immediate. Also it doesn't flake off under other products because it absorbs very well. Everyone's skin is different but this is my favorite product and I will never abandone it again. Sometimes you have to lose something to realize how great it is, I guess.
Get it!
I've been using origins products more religiously lately because I haven't had a negative experience yet. I experimented with this first to see if it works well, I use it twice a day now (as part of my morning and night routine), it definitely revitalizes my skin. I apply two pumps each time and lock it in with my regular moisturizer as well. I use it before I apply my makeup on as well as part of my pre-makeup routine.
Allergic reaction
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at

I had an allergic reaction with red itchy face with bumps. I used it once but initially I thought it must be with the food I ate or something. It took several days to clear with topical steroid. After a week or two, I used it again to try but I had itchy face and have red elevated bump, like a map; and I took Benadryl. Now for sure, I know it was from this serum. There's something in this product that makes me itchy. I have been using origin products for at least 8 yrs now with no reaction except at this time. I am throwing this, how I wish I can return and my money back. Please be cautious using this serum.


I love it
I love it I would recommend it I just wish it didn't cost so much

Can you use this with niacinamide?

- Q
Can this be used with other serums? My skin is more on the "mature" side, and I have been using another serum that I like.
- Asked by Leanne
- Official Answer By Origins US ENA great question! While we recommend using this serum alone for best results, you may alternate Origins GinZing Into the Glow Brightening Serum with your other favorite serum. Simply apply one serum in the morning and the other serum in the evening, instead of layering your serums, and always follow with your favorite moisturizer.Was this answer helpful to you
