Before I turned 30 I always assumed that the worst part of turning 30 would be the distant but undeniably immediate thudding sound I would hear as the lid of the coffin entombing both my Youth and my Glory Days was unceremoniously slammed shut. I pictured some kind of dramatic final-boss-style confrontation with my own mortality set to a musical score largely comprised of shrill hysteria, Sex and the City marathons, and the incessant ticking of my biological clock. And then I actually turned 30, and I realized that the worst part of it, for me, was in fact the giant dark purple circles under my eyes that appeared seemingly overnight. I tried a lot of very expensive, very famous, very French eye creams, and while they did help a little, technically, none of them ... MoreBefore I turned 30 I always assumed that the worst part of turning 30 would be the distant but undeniably immediate thudding sound I would hear as the lid of the coffin entombing both my Youth and my Glory Days was unceremoniously slammed shut. I pictured some kind of dramatic final-boss-style confrontation with my own mortality set to a musical score largely comprised of shrill hysteria, Sex and the City marathons, and the incessant ticking of my biological clock. And then I actually turned 30, and I realized that the worst part of it, for me, was in fact the giant dark purple circles under my eyes that appeared seemingly overnight. I tried a lot of very expensive, very famous, very French eye creams, and while they did help a little, technically, none of them really HELPED, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. Until I got a sample of THIS eye cream with a Sephora order and dutifully tried it out. The impact was instantaneous. Like I was suddenly wearing concealer, but the finish of the concealer was eerily lifelike, perfectly shade-matched, and also (somehow) expertly applied. Magic. Sorcery. Origins? Due to the everlasting and unimpeachable Power of Genetics TM, my dark circles are likely never going to be eliminated entirely, but adding this cream to my skincare routine has reduced the puffiness and sapped a lot of the bruised-looking color from them, and I can't overstate how dramatic the effect is on the rest of my face. I look brighter. Healthier. Fresher. More awake. It's been transformative, which is not a word I would have ever expected to use about an eye cream. Highly, enthusiastically recommend. Even if you haven't turned 30 yet.

This is one of my favorite under eye creams. It had a nice circus scent that's subtle and not overpowering. The consistency is thick but also silky and easily applies to skin without feeking tacky or sticky. Left my under eye feeling very hydrated smooth. After a couple days, I could visibly see a difference in my under eye. They were brighter, plumper smoother. I use this a few times a week as I've been testing new under eye products to see what else is out there what might else might work for me. I'm a beauty product junkie so I'm constantly trying new things. But take note, I always find myself coming back to this one as it's definitely a favorite!

Helps to helps to fade dark circles, improve skin tone, neutralize free radicals, and reduce aging process This has a gel-cream texture that is lightweight on the skin. It absorbs well and is non-greasy. The first thing you’ll notice upon opening is the light, iridescent peach-like tint with a faint shimmer, almost like a concealer, which helped to instantly brighten my eyes. My skin has a fair-medium tone and the original shade of this blends well with my tone. There is a warm tone available for those with a medium skin tone but neither shade would probably blend well those with dark skin tones. The cream does help conceal and mask dark circles, but never saw an improvement in it fading them. I will say it certainly helped reducing the puffiness under my eyes after a long night with the baby or because of allergies and firming the bags under my eyes. The jar lasted me about 6-7 months so a little goes a long way. Make sure you don’t use to much because I noticed it would pill if I overused. It’s a decent eye cream if you are looking for it to mask dark circles and give you bright eyes instantly. PROS: ✅ Doesn’t irritate my skin ✅ Lightweight and absorbs well ✅ Non-greasy ✅ Instantly brightens tired eyes ✅ Reduced my slight puffiness under my eyes ✅ Noticed firming of eye bags ✅ Helps mask, key word-mask, dark circles CONS: ❌ If you use to much it will cause piling ❌ Didn’t help dark circles other than masking them slightly ❌ Only 2 tones available and neither would probably blend well for those with darker skin tones

Did nothing but make my under eye bags shiny.

I was hopeful but this did absolutely nothing. It is moist, but I would not say moistureizing as it just sits on top of the skin, makes it shine, and did nothing at all for mild dark circles after using this day and night for 30 days. I'm curious about the age group of the high star ratings. Now being in my 50's, I realize that young skin makes the market as it doesn't really take much for it to feel, look better. The real test is for ageing skin, do these product really do anything. Often they do not other than temporary moisture that you could honely get for a lot cheaper using organic coconut oil.

Good but kept stinging my face whenever I used it

This was good. The only thing was this stung my face whenever I used it so I never bought & used it again after that. I prefer other cleansers & scrubs to the Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser. It's a shame as I restrict myself to buying only natural/organic skincare products due to the fact that chemicals aren't good for everyone & anyone, I don't like chemicals, & my face breaks out whenever I use skincare & makeup products that have chemicals in it; I also buy cruelty-free products as I don't like animal testing & companies who aren't certified cruelty-free & lie about their animal testing, but I've had to make an exception for this brand even though they test on animals since it's natural/organic & mostly vegan & works well on my face while giving me a ... MoreThis was good.

It’s decent

It’s a decent product, purchased the full size after trying a sample and just finished the jar. It does brighten and moisturize. I do find that it pills easily and does not layer well with multiple products or makeup. Another negative that didn’t affect the product itself but is nonetheless annoying and avoidable: the jar label paint wore off and pieces of orange would end up on my hands and face after applying. I kept it stored in the same place and handled carefully but it somehow ended up looking like a worn out and beaten up face cream after only a few weeks. Would not repurchase as there are alternatives that I find do a better job and tick more positive boxes. I could only wear this on makeup free days. If you’re unsure I would try the mini size first!

More embarrassing to return, wouldn’t buy again

I’m really unsure. I bought The inked and was okay with that and its texture and wanted something similar but with a slight tint. This was next- i love The consistency of the product: watery cream that applies easily. I really don’t like the applicator - feels like it’s a sponge the just eats up the product it’s so weird. I havent Really noticed a difference but! My under eyes are work- i think Iit’s a mix of possibly dehydration and the shape of my eye socket so would any product ever help unless it’s full coverage? I’m not sure. I’m actually embarrassed to have to go in to return it - i wouldnt Purchase again - I’d go back to the half price point inkey product instead.

New favourite, now I want the mask too! ; )

This is a gentle gem. Soothing, moisturizing, depuffs, brightens, smooths, hydrates, primes and improves the look of my skin. I wear this with or without makeup, that's a big plus in eye creams! Increases it's value since I need fewer products. A little bit goes so far that I get to enjoy some around my lips and on my dry patches. This looks and feels so good that I really want to try the mask now for the rest of my face.It might not be for very oily eyelids or people sensitive to citrus. I have extremely sensitive skin but tolerate citrus and this has the least amount of sting if it gets into my eyes. Only thing less stingy is straight up oil imo. Definitely competes with products two & three times as expensive.

The new formula irritates my sensitive skin

I have used the Ginzing Oil Free Gel Moisturizer for YEARS, and it's been the perfect moisturizer for my very sensitive skin. It kept me feeling hydrated all day long. The new formula is terrible. They added niacinamide, which irritates my face. I can only use a niacinamide 2-3 times per week, at night, because otherwise I get red, irritated patches.So now I can't use Origins moisturizers at all. THANKS A LOT. They're just trying to appeal to 20 year olds on tik tok. Guess what. 20 year olds don't have great skin because of their skincare routines. They have great skin because they're 20 years old.And what does it mean that it will moisturize skin for 72 hours? No one needs that. You're going to wash your face several times within a 72-hour period, so you're ... MoreI have used the Ginzing Oil Free Gel Moisturizer for YEARS, and it's been the perfect moisturizer for my very sensitive skin.

This has been the only brand I could use for so long, and now I can't use it at all.

Wow- look at the outside of this GinZing bottle!

What is going on with the outside of this container of Orgins GinZing Brightening Eye Cream. The print on the outside of the product is deteriorating. It’s getting so bad, that I can’t read anything or see anything imprinted on the item.This is embarrassing! I hide the item if someone goes near its location! I spent a lot of money on a product & the outside section is falling apart. What can I expect from the actual eye cream??? I’m so disappointed with this product. I purchased 2 in 2 separate orders, and I am almost sure I am stuck with junk. I’ve only had this for about two weeks- what will happen after another two weeks? How can a company make something of such poor quality! I am in awe of the poor quality! Wow- disappointed more than you can imagine!I hope ... MoreWhat is going on with the outside of this container of Orgins GinZing Brightening Eye Cream.
