The Origins GinZing moisturiser was one of those hyped up beauty releases that everybody wanted to get their hands on. It claims to 'Jumpstart hydration levels' and 'revitalise to create a healthy, vibrant glow'. I'd never tried the coveted GinZing eye cream, so the release of this fresh and fruity moisturiser went straight over my head.
I was recommended this by the very friendly and bubbly sales guy, I have combination/oily skin in the summer (when I purchased this) and the oil-free label appealed greatly. I wanted something that wouldn't make my t-zone oilier than it already is and would also hydrate my dry cheeks. I love the lightweight texture and my skin really drinks it up.
However, and this is a pretty big however, I wasn't overly impressed with it as a day moisturiser. If you have super duper oily skin than I think this would be great, but as someone that has dry areas, it just didn't really do much. I didn't notice any extra 'glow' after applying and it just didn't give the hydration my face needed, especially during the transition into the winter months.
The orange smell is amazing and it really is nice if you want a really light weight moisturiser that soaks in like water. I'm just a bit dissapointed that it didn't live up to my expectations after all the hype.
Have you tired Origins GinZing moisturiser? Do you think it's worth all the hype surrounding it?
That is so funny, because I felt exactly the same way about the Origins Starting Over day cream - good, but not quite enough if you've got tendencies to get dehydrated skin. I still love it and it smells amazing, but I have to wear a very rich serum to compensate... Good review! Xx

This might be the first bad(ish) review on this. I'm in 2 minds whether it will be good for me. But it does smell amazing. Body Shop does a vitamin C moisturiser which smells similar so I might try that first and see how I get on.

Feel exactly the same about this... I think the smell and obviously the brand are more appealing to many people! x
