I think it's fair to say that this is one of those products that has a lot of hype surrounding it. Obviously, since I am a bit of a sucker for hype, I bought it.
Origins GinZing eye cream is supposed to 'lighten and de-puff' the under eye area, quite a large claim from a little, tiny cream!
It is quite a funny salmon coloured cream with a sheen to it. This sheen is not easy to pick up on camera. I tried, believe me. I also tried to take before and after pictures of it on my eye.
Not sure that worked out to well! Anyway, it leaves a very slight sheen on the under eye area which does help to brighten and reflect light.
Application: I pat this under each eye with my ring finger using a very small amount, much less than shown in the picture! I think you could look a bit too sheeny if you used too much.
Absorption time: This sinks in quickly, no more than 5 minutes after application. It is quite light in consistency so that might have something to do with it.
Moisturising capabilities: Not so much. It makes the makeup on my under eye area sit better but it doesn't do much in the way of moisturising.
Brightening and de-puffing capabilities: After using this I do notice that my purple under eye bits are less prominent when I have my foundation on. However I don't have terrible under eye circles and don't need anything too heavy duty. I also don't suffer with puffiness so I can't really test that claim. Maybe I'll report back when hayfever hits! It does feel quite cooling when applied which helps with puffiness I hear.
