Origins Ginzing Oil-Free Energy-Boosting Moisturizer For Unisex 1.7 oz Moisturizer

Product Information

Origins was the first original brand of the beauty megacorporation The Estée Lauder Companies. The parent company has also launched or acquired numerous other brands, including MAC Cosmetics, Clinique, and Aveda. Where is Origins made? Nobody blinks an eye when a skincare brand advertises itself as “clean,” “all-natural” or “plant based.” While we all take those concepts for granted right now in this wellness focused time, it wasn’t always the case. One of the pioneers of natural based cosmetics is Origins, which was launched by William Lauder in 1990. Origins continues to trail blaze with green ideas, such as reducing its environmental impact and committing to plant trees. Here’s a look at the Origins brand, what products it sells, and is it right for you? This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types and targets tired-looking and dull complexions in need of an intense moisture hit. Origins may have a new-age perspective, but its own origins are found in one of the oldest and most respected names in the skincare game. It was founded in 1990 by Leonard Lauder, son of beauty icon Estée Lauder, and was the first brand launched by the Lauder company as it began transforming into an enormous, multidivisional conglomerate.

It wasn't until my late twenties that I found out I suffer from mild rosacea. The tell-tale signs were there—flushed cheeks after a glass of red wine, blotchy skin at the gym, a heightened sensitivity to the sun. But it took visiting a dermatologist (for a different reason) to get a diagnosis. “Skin that has rosacea will feel more sensitive but often has an oily component,” Dr. Ifeoma Ejikeme, aesthetic doctor and medical director of Adonia Medical Clinic told me. “Oily products and products that clog the pores can really aggravate rosacea."In our opinion, Origins products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. So in terms of product line and choice, Origins has Gleamin beat by miles. Where Gleamin has an edge, though, is in the area of ethical manufacturing. As a small company with a smaller customer reach and manufacturing base than Origins, Gleamin is far more capable of holding true to its principles of sustainability and all-natural ingredients. It's charged with panax ginseng, a small-but-mighty perennial plant grown in the mountains of East Asia. Ginseng is an antioxidant known for its invigorating properties and has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. While this formula doesn't promise these same health benefits, it does encourage anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects—quite evident, as regular use did calm my rosacea-prone skin. The play on words in its name comes across loud and clear, but I can confirm this formula did help to wake up my tired skin. It lives up to its namesake and if you want a moisturizer that will leave you looking like you’ve had your full eight hours of sleep, I fully recommend Origins GinZing moisturizer and all its glow-boosting properties.

Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body-Buffing Cleanser – Formulated with grapefruit, tangerine and orange oil, this cleanser works into a lather while exfoliating the body. Warm Down Warming Lava Scrub To Detox And Smooth – Working this volcanic ash-based scrub into your palms helps heat it up, leaving the body smooth and soft. How Much Do Origins Products Cost? Origins sells a wide variety of skincare and makeup as well as bath and body products. There are 11 collections, including Plantscription, GinZing, A Perfect World, Original Skin, Clear Improvement and Zero Oil. The Origins Drink UP Intensive Overnight Mask has been a fan favorite product from the brand for years. In fact, this was one of the first widely popular overnight hydrating masks before K-beauty inspired hydrating masks really started to hit the western market. Even now that we have so many more options in this category of skincare product, the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask has remained a firm favorite, and for good reason. This deeply hydrating mask feels lightweight on the skin, while also infusing an impressive dose of hydration. This is all thanks to the formula behind this product. Some of the key ingredients that give the Drink Up Mask its nourishing capabilities include niacinamide, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil and mango butter. Niacinamide helps to brighten the skin and create a smoother skin surface while the oils and butters within this formula act as both emollients and occlusives to seal in hydration so that you wake up to skin that feels silky smooth and noticeably plump.Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Exfoliating Cleansing Powder To Clear Pores – Just add water to this powder to create a creamy cleanser which helps clean pores. I have combination skin and I’m usually never without a pimple or two or three. But, my skin has been so good since I’ve been using this moisturizer,” said another satisfied customer. “ It’s super light-weight which is awesome if you tend to get oily, yet moisturizing enough for my ‘normal’ areas like my cheeks…. It smells wonderful as well – if you like citrusy scents!” GinZing Ultra Hydrating, Energy-Boosting Cream – Origins says this rich moisturizer delivers 72 hours of hydration, and can be used day and night.
