This eye cream does NOT feel refreshing, does Not brighten and depuff at all! It's horrible! It doesn't absorb quickly and leaves white residuals on my skin. Such a waste of money!

I really wanted this to work, but alas it was not meant to be. The caffeine in this product did provide a bit of a pick me up but otherwise this product didn't do much for me. It felt a bit drying and it has illuminating particles which act more like makeup than a skincare product. If I wanted makeup I would use concealer. I ended up returning this eye cream and switching to Midnight Recovery Eye by Kiehls which works 10x better than this.

I asked for a sample of this eye cream from my local Sephora. It did brighten up my eye area but it nothing to help moisturize my eyes. Would not repurchase.

I got this as part of a free gift. This is the other Origins product that I don't love (the other one is Checks and balances). Its very light, and I have very dry cheeks so I usually prefer thicker eye creams. I don't feel the shimmer does anything and to me its just an ok eye product.

Okay morning eye cream. It's light, absorbs nice, works well with makeup but I found after a week of use, it started to sting my skin and I found it not to be moisturizing enough. Also, I don't think it actually does anything. The brightening effect is from the light-reflecting particles. I'll probably try something else after I use this up, maybe something more moisturizing....

I probably won't repurchase this eye-cream. It works just fine, and I like the look and feel of it, but I think I can find something comparable for a lot less than $29.

it contains caffeine and ginseng which are good for an eye cream, also it has some highlighting effect due to the light reflecting particles so it makes the under eye looks brighter colour hence more refresh, less panda eye. It does not change/ improve my dark cycle which we know dark cycle can be due to multifactorial so I do not expect solely this cream to solve this problem. however, aesthetically, it makes your eyes look nicer and more awake. i guess its just another option.

Been using this eye cream for around 3 weeks now & I really like it. I use it day & night & it soaks in really well & has made a difference towards my eyes. I have never really suffered with dark eyes or bags but just lately my eyes seemed to have a darkish shadow underneath.. This product is not the cheapest but I feel its definitely worth it! continued >>

I like that this product is reasonably priced and I like the iridesence in it. It is not too heavy and doesn't give me those little bumps that some other heavy ones do. I don't really have puffy eyes or dark circles but it does make me look awake in the mornings.

This is a good and light eye cream. Like that it has a highlight effect. This makes you look more awake and fresh. I do not have any puffiness, so I do not know how effective it is in thet department.

It's not terribly expensive for an eye cream, ok product for moisturizing but didn't notice anything for lines and dark circles. It does brightens my eye area in the morning, contains alot of product, probably will last a longtime.

I've been using this eye cream for a few weeks and I'm really liking it. I'm very fair and have dark circles under my eyes and this stuff really helps cover that up, and most days I can go without under eye concealer. It's slightly pink and slightly shimmery, but I don't notice it at all if I only use a little bit of the product (and there's a lot!). I don't have awful bags under my eyes, but this cream helps with what I do have and is really moisturizing. The two best parts: 1. I'm not allergic to it and 2. This eye cream is pretty cheap compared to its rivals.
EDIT: I used this product for a few months and I noticed that my undereye area was REALLY dry and tight. I will not repurchase.

Received this as a sample with a purchase of some of the ginger products at the store. Tried it just for grins.
It does "feel" nice under the eye, but seems to not have any real benefit other than illumination. It claims to de-puff the under-eye area, but I don't have puffy eyes.
This is $29.50 for "half an ounce" of cream...quite pricey, IMO.
If you want to spend that kind of money for a half ounce of eye cream, you might as well go for a higher end product like Cellex with the Vitamin C. Vitamin C is actually good for collagen production.

Originally (no pun intended) excited about this product given its botanical base. But, oh dear.
Having left the product unused for a period I later discovered in the interim it had developed a harsh, chemical odour. So not at all confidence-inspiring as a product intended for use around the delicate eye area.

I can't believe I used this product for 6 or so months straight. I just switched back to my original eye cream -- clinique all about eyes rich (which I had gotten sick of in the past, but now is a dream compared to this Origins garbage).
It doesn't moisturize at all, and feels sticky upon application. It makes my undereyes look almost sallow. Worst of all, the "glimmer" in it that's supposed to "brighten" eyes? Looks like cheap, greyish concealer.

I love this stuff! I never seem to get enough sleep and even when I do I still have moderate black circles and bags under my eyes. Once I dab a little bit of this on that problem is solved. I love the way this brightens and smooths out my under eyes. I look so much more awake and well-rested.

I recently purchased this in a gift set from my Origins counter in Younkers ($32.50USD), that comes with a mini mascara, double-sided lipgloss, and hand treatment. In this gift set this product comes in a tube rather than a little pot and is still full sized. So, if you love this but hate the little pot check out the gift set, and you will love this even more!

I got a sample of this, and I'm feeling pretty neutral about it. It's the kind of eye cream that says it brightens because it has a bit of shimmer type stuff in it. But I don't feel like it moisturizes at all, and i don't feel like it brightens that well either. Some days it seems like it works and some days it doesn't. I wouldn't buy this product..

I had a sample of this eyecream, and I have to say, I was disappointed. After a few days use, my little lines were somehow MORE visible, and also the tint of the product didn´t really make a difference. All in all, I felt like it dried my skin out a bit (even though it´s summer now), and after I switched to the Avocado Eye Cream by Kiehl´s everything was back to normal, little lines diminished again. Definitely not a product for dry skin, I would say.

Useless little jar of sparkly rubbish. I have since learned to stop buying crap from Origins. They are all packaging, marketing, fragrance and irritants, and this is no different.
