My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Resurfacing cream enriched with fruit acids High-Potency Night-A-Mins of the brand Origins is primarily intended for skin showing signs of fatigue, dullness, uneven texture, and early wrinkles. Its formula aims to stimulate cell renewal during the night, a key period for skin regeneration. My expert opinion is that this product falls into the category of gentle exfoliants, suitable for those who want to improve the radiance and softness of their skin without damaging the epidermis.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Fruit acids (AHAs, including lactic, citric, and tartaric acids) These molecules gently exfoliate the stratum corneum, promoting the elimination of dead cells and stimulating skin renewal. Their action refines the skin texture and brightens the complexion.
• Squalane This biomimetic emollient strengthens the skin barrier and provides deep hydration, counteracting the drying potential of AHAs.
• Stabilized Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) : A powerful antioxidant, it protects the skin from nighttime oxidative stress and helps even out the complexion.

The synergy of these active ingredients makes this treatment remarkably effective in improving skin texture and radiance, while maintaining comfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this cream in the evening, on clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. It can be incorporated into a routine that includes a gentle cleanser and a hydrating serum. It is best to avoid combining it with other powerful exfoliants (retinol, strong acids) to limit the risk of irritation. In the morning, it is essential to apply sunscreen.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this product lie in its balance between exfoliation and hydration, as well as its antioxidant content. Its rich texture is well suited to normal to dry skin. One caveat: the presence of essential oils and fragrance allergens may not be suitable for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, this is an effective treatment for reviving nighttime radiance, to be carefully incorporated into a suitable routine.
