Item 2568295
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...

I love this stuff. There is a noticeable glow with the first use

Left my skin bumpy and with breakouts
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at

I do not recommend this product. After just one application, within a day I noticed that my face was bumpy and I had breakouts (Prior to using this, I had not had any breakouts in years). It took 10 days for my skin to return to normal with no bumps. I do not typically have sensitive skin but some ingredient in this product is not compatible with me.
Fresh and clean!
I had gotten a sample of this and adored it so much I bought the full version. I have dry to normal skin and this product adds the perfect touch. It makes my face feel so fresh after application. So many clean (and vegan) ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid that make the skin glow and evens skin texture after just a couple uses. Looks beautiful under nautral makeup as well! Smells incredible too, there are essential oils added so if you dont like fragrances/have sensitive skin be aware and do a patch test before applying to face. I have been using the serum for the past month and my slightly textured skin has evened out completely and I have gotten many compliments on my "glowing complexion"
Traumatizing experience
Origins is probably my favorite skincare brand and I've used various products from the line for years; however, have never experienced something like this before. I noticed a slight tingling upon use which I read is normal. After this continued after a few days/week I couldn't take it anymore and stopped use altogether. Despite the fact I completely stopped using it, one spot of my face continued to grow more and more irritated and inflamed. It's been over a month now and I have an actual burn in that spot that will not go away! I'm using every remedy that I can research but nothing is working - I called the dermatologist but can't get in for another few months! I have reached out to Origins regarding this and am awaiting a response (I hope). I pray this doesn't leave permanent damage.
NOT a replacement for Original Skin Renewal with Willowherb
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at

I was told to use this as a replacement for Original Skin Renewal Serum With Willowherb, which they discontinued. This isn't even close to similar and I now can't find any serum that helps with my oily skin like the one I used to use every single day for years. I used to use the Original Skin serum and my skin was instantly brighter and clear looking, while also mattifying. This Ginzing serum has caused my face to be super oily. I am very disappointed with this product and with Origins. I wish they wouldn't constantly discontinue our favorite products, it makes me never want to rely on Origins ever again, because as soon as I love something, they discontinue it. So disappointed.

Can you use this with niacinamide?
- Asked by LL

Origins GinZing Into The Glow Brightening Serum is the perfect partner serum to Origins Energizing Gel Cream with Caffeine and Niacinamide, as the two products work to improve dull-looking skin while the moisturizer helps improve the skin's natural barrier.

- 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
