Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream



I bought this during my Origins haul more than a month ago. I have been using this since then. The color of the cream is a very light orange. It looks like thousand island dressing hahahaha. The key ingredients are caffeine from coffee beans, Panax Ginseng and magnolia extract. I have researched a bit about the properties of the main ingredients.



Caffeine – Might not be good when over consume as it caused hydration, but if it is applied on delicate area like the eye area, it is known to tighten fine lines and smooth puffy surfaces. Some might already know that it is also use to combat cellulite

Panax Ginseng – Is also known as Asian, Korean or Chinese ginseng. The word Panax is a Greek word that means all-healing. Ginseng is known in general to help combat fatigue and for overall wellbeing.

Magnolia Extract – It is known to release stress, anxiety and depression. So it helps keep your eye area stress free :)

The eye cream does help in moisturizing my eye area and also preventing my dark eye circle from getting worst but I do not think it lightens my dark circle that much. Maybe because it’s only been 1 month of usage.

The instruction says that you can use under or over makeup. I feel that it does help brighten up my eyes if used over makeup. But if I apply the eye cream first, then only my concealer, the brightening effect will not be that apparent. The cream contains small shiny particles and I think these particles are the main ingredient for the illuminating effect. I personally feel that this product delivers better as a beauty fix more than an eye cream. Maybe that is also why the instruction says it should be used in the day.

Verdict: I have a mix feeling about this product. This is a nice to have eye cream for beauty fix but I am not so sure if it delivers the best result as an eye cream. I think the best way to complement this product is to have a night eye cream (firming or anti aging) and this GinZing eye cream for day use.

Price: Pricey- RM 135 (15ml)
