GinZing Energizing Gel Cream

I’m so confused. I bought the Origins 6 piece Travel Set recently and loved the Ginzing Energizing Gel Cream so much I ordered the full size version. After opening the jar, I noticed the consistency and color was completely different from the travel size gel cream (1 oz) I loved so much. Even the feel of the full size gel cream (1.7) is completely different and not in good way. I’m a little worried to use this product daily because cream moisturizers have always made me breakout. Also, from the looks of it, I received the old packaging and not the newest packaging. I’m so disappointed, this item has become a staple in my routine and really don’t want to order travel sized versions of a product I use so often.

this has been my holy Grail product for about 10 years now. every now and then I branch to something new, but I always come back to this. Unfortunately, that ends as they have seemed to have changed their formula. The product is now extremely sticky and leaves my face feeling greasy and dirty. It used to be lightweight and moisturizing and now it just feels goopy and gross. They should go back to their original formula.

I used to love this moisturiser but since they've changed the formulation I've had a horrible reaction: swollen, itchy painful eyes. After weeks of going backwards and forwards to the doctors I realised it was my moisturiser and discovered that niacinamide causes a histamine reaction in people who have allergies. Such a shame as I loved the previous formulation, and it's not exactly cheap either.

They have changed from the oil-free formula which was the best moisturiser I have ever used in my life. This new formula is abysmal. When will the old formula be coming back???

I love absolutely everything about this moisturiser, it's hydrating but absorbs super quick meaning no sticky / slimey face and I can then apply my make up ontop without it sliding off. The scent is absolutely stunning too ! I have super sensitive skin but this hasn't caused any reactions.

Surprised at the recent negative reviews as this has actually become my go to moisturiser over the last year (having tried others in between, I keep going back to this one) The gel is light and I find it absorbs relatively quickly (I always question when something absorbs immediately! Or, if it does, it means me skin is too dry, so surely just shows that this is doing it's job ??) I love the smell of the product and, as someone that suffers from an oily t zone, I find my skin isn't as oily as when using a non-gel moisturiser - still some shine but nowhere near as much. Provided such a nice supply base for make up too that I find I'm using less of other products ??

Last year, I bought 2 Ginzings: the large jar with the oranges on the lid (clearance) and the trial pack with the then new serum and the new formula small jar. The difference between the 2 formulas is staggering...the original is lighter and absorbs into my skin and truly is a wonderful product. This new formula...it's so greasy (I thought this was supposed to be lightweight), never absorbs regardless of how much or how little I use, my face got so red I needed to re-wash my face, AND then I compared the ingredients and found that there's soybean oil in this???? I have acne-prone, dry, sensitive skin. This product used to be my default moisturizer for years because of how light it felt and how well my face was moisturized without the guck the drugstore equivalents have. My OG jar is now half gone and I'm at a loss what to replace it with because it sure won't be this new formula. Manufactured soy products are rarely included in my diet so there's no way I'm putting it on my face again. Why review this so late? I was hoping against hope that the other reviews had convinced a return of the better product, but no. Please reissue the formula...how many near-identical negative testimonies will you answer with "I'm sorry for your bad experience"? Thank you for reading

The feel of this gel cream is unreal, the lift is like something you can visibly watch its crazy good. Using around eyes and the NECK whooo boy needed it. love love love

I've given this version a fair try, using it two days in a row at a time. Each time is the same...sticky, itchy and immediate breakouts around my mouth. My husband ran out of his moisturizer, so I gave it to him. Surely he wouldn't care, right? He couldn't stop sweating and wound up washing it off. I just don't understand how it's still marked as a "best seller." Thankfully Origins is generous with samples, so I had enough of the old to fill a whole jar! I'll be using it sparingly.

I got it as a gift. It smells wonderful and I really wanted to like this product, but my skin starts to burns when I apply it. It leaves my skin red, burning and sticky. Wonderful smell with terrible results unfortunately. What a shame.

This product used to be one of my favorites but it has changed. My new jar of gel leaves my skin sticky and smothered. My hands even feel sticky from applying it. I've noticed this with another one of their gel products (plantscriptions) it leaves my skin sticky and slick. Do not buy this!

I've loved and used the old formulation for years. I recently had a really bad allergic reaction, eyes swollen, red & itchy. I really hoped that it was anything else in my life but ultimately it was definitely the new formulation. I can't believe it because this product used to work perfectly on my skin so I can't believe origins would bring out a new product that would make me & a lot of other customers react & break out.
