The pecas

2021 is the year when I tried for the first time any product from Origins, and so far, I have used around 4 and they have impressed me a lot. In the way that I ask myself, why I didn’t try them before.

The product that took my breath away was the Eye Doctor, which in my humble opinion is one of the best eye moisturizers I have ever used. After the initial success, I decided to keep trying their moisturizers line and today I will give you my view of the GINZING one.
