Origins GinZing Into the Glow Brightening Serum Review
Origins' New Brightening Serum Completely Changed My Mind About Vitamin C Products
2
When I'm applying this here, the shine you see comes from the fact that it's a liquid, so it still looks wet. The serum actually sinks in almost immediately and dries completely smooth. I personally didn't notice any flaking (from the AHAs and BHAs also inside) but, if you do, that can be solved by substituting this rubbing motion for gentle patting instead.
As I've been testing this new Origins serum for the last month, I can attest its name is no joke. My skin looked brighter immediately on day one, and the brightness has only improved from there. Best yet, it doesn't pill under any makeup I add which has happened with other vitamin C serums in the past.
Now I happen to like this glowy effect so much I rarely put any foundation on after it, but I do always add something with sun protection. (It's incredibly important to wear sunscreen anyway, but even more so when using these types of products because they can make us even more sensitive to that exposure.) And, hey, it doesn't matter if my day-to-day life is still rather dull, my skin most definitely is not.
