This is a really basic eye cream. If moisture is all you're after, then this is great. But if you're looking for anti-aging, anti-puffiness or anti-dark circle, then look elsewhere. But Origins doesn't claim this is supposed to do any of that. It claims to be "moisture care for skin around eyes.". It's great for that. And I found the scent to be quite pleasant, slightly cucumber-like. But I'm getting in my mid-30s and need a bit more than just moisture, so not sure if I would really re-purchase.

I did a lot of research before I shelled out $34 for this product. It's suppose to fade dark shadows, counter crow's feet, and de-puff. Well, I'm not really wrinkly yet and I don't have big problems with dark circles. I mainly wanted this as a preventative thing, to moisturize my area, and hopefully help with my de-puffing problem and the few wrinkles I see forming. Well, it really didn't do anything. My eye area looks exactly the same. I didn't notice any de-puffing action, I didn't notice the two fine lines under each of my eyes fade at all. I also absolutely HATE THE SMELL. At first I could smell the cucumber but then suddenly I realized it smelled much more like old cigarettes. Once I noticed this I couldn't handle using it because it just grossed me out (plus the product didn't do anything for me for the price) so I decided to return it to Sephora after a month of using it.

I don't mind this eye cream, however I think it is far from HG status. I had a severe reaction to Perricone eye cream which literally left the skin around my eyes raw and scaley looking...a month ago. I tried Lancôme Genifique and Caudalie's eye creams, they burned and stung my sensitive skin.This felt soothing on and quickly absorbed, also it had a nice short lived fresh scent. However it's been a month now I have been trying to repair the skin around my eyes and this is doing it at such a slow rate! I apply it atleast three times a day and I still have dry patches. For those who wish to maintain their unproblematic skin this is the perfect product. I gave it three lippies because its so good for sensitive skin. But really not that impressive.

I don't suffer from dry under eyes, however, I'm still young so the wrinkles are on hold for now. I use this eye cream to make dark circles disappear as well as reduce puffiness and just make my eyes feel more awake. It is one of the cheaper eye creams you can buy, I purchased mine at sephora for 39CAN compared to some I have seen (but never bought) for as high as 200$. Hope this helps! oh yeah I would definitely repurchase. LOVE IT <3

OUCH! After a few weeks of nightly use, this eye cream burned the area around my orbital bone where I applied it. For the last few days it has looked like I was punched in the face! I'm sorry, Origins, but this was a waste of money.

I like this eyecream. Smells nice and fresh... like any other origin product would. It keeps my eyes from being puffy and having dark circles. However, I kind of prefer the kiehls avocado eye cream more.. since I feel like I could see a better result with that. Its nice product, but I probably wouldn't repurchase since it was quite expensive.

This is my first eye cream ever! I was noticing the skin around my eyes being a little dry, and Origins moisturizers are my favorite so I decided to try this one. Since it is specifically formulated to help with moisture instead of wrinkles, I chose this and it has been wonderful. I have noticed that it burns a little if it gets in your eyes, like if you rub them while the moisturizer is around them... so that's not great. No eye product should burn your eyes, right? Other than that it is great! Very moisturizing and you only have to use a tee-tiny bit.

Love this product. It's perfectly moisturizing and sinks in quickly. Also it feels cooling as it's applied to the skin and it's my favourite eye cream so far.

I use a lot of concealer under my eyes and this works well underneath.

Only the smell isn't amazing. But it doesn't bother me as it is very faint.

Love this as a night eye cream. I have very sensitive skin. I love Origins Ginzing eye cream for day.

Nothing else works for me.

I have extremely dry skin around my eyes and very sensitive skin and this hydrated it well. However, that's all it does. When you've got very dry I skin though it's brilliant. I didn't think it did much either at first but after persevering over a year with it, this is what it's best use is: when my skin was average dry or normal (my skin changes easily accord to environment) this didn't do much, but when I felt extremely dry (desert like) this was a little miracle and the difference to my skin was amazing. It was rehydrated instantly and refreshed. Although i had to apply a fair amount under my eye, it's texture was light and sunk in easily unlike my other products for mega dry skin. I have very sensitive skn and found that it didn't sting. So would rec trying because I think not all sensitive skins are the same ,coz I've been sensitive to plenty of other things other sensitive people haven't and vice-versa.

I dont have many problems with the skin around my eyes..like dark circles or fine lines..but I do get milia which are those tiny white spots under the eyes. After using this for about a week my milia has cleared up and now i have been using it for about a month and the milia hasnt come back. Some reviews have said they have problems using this under makeup but I havent had any problems. I find this eye cream absorbs well and makes my eye makeup go on smoothly.

I have used this for many years. Probably more then ten. I'm 39 and get mistaken for a twenty something year old all the time. And not just 28 or 29. I'm talking people think I'm around age 25. I have NO lines or wrinkles! Origins products for ten plus years. The proof is in my face. I love this eye cream. Have repurchased many times and will continue.

I have used multiple eye creams and of course my all time favorite was just to unaffordable. So in trying less expensive brands this is the one that I have found to be the most moisturizing for more mature skin around the eyes. A great find!

I used this a long time ago and recently went back to it. It is so moisturizing. I use it over my Ole Henrickson eye gel. It seems to do the trick. I am surprised at the low rating.

The best thing about this product is its refreshing scent.

It's an average eye cream which moisturises but don't expect much out of it. Personally, I'm not looking for an eye cream that takes away dark eye circles and puffiness since dark eye circles are due to poor blood circulation which could not be removed by most eye creams and I don't hae puffy eyes. I just needed one to moisturise my eyes since they do have lines when I smile.

This eye cream isn't greasy. It moisturises but not to a great extent. I find myself putting layers after layers, partly because of the refreshing scent and also that it doesn't hydrate enough.

I used up this cream within one and a half month.

A basic eye cream in my opinion, nothing fantastic but nothing to complain about.

I used it when I was younger and did not really require it to do anything--it did ensure that nothing happened (more dark circles, fine lines or puffiness).

After using this eye cream for 2 days I have an inflamed painful bump on the side of my eye. I would not recommend this for people with very sensitive skin or noses (the smell reminds me of cucumbers trying to hide the smell of chemicals). Will not finish or buy again. Not a cheap mistake.

I have used this product for approximately 2 months now, and it has become indispensable. I use it once in the morning and once at night. This product goes on without feeling oily, smells very fresh (like cucumbers), and is sort of tingly without being irritating, which I like.

Since I suffer from allergies and poor sleeping habits, I often have puffy eyes with dark under eye circles. The first few times I used this, I saw that the puffiness in my eyes have decreased significantly, but it didn't seem to do much for my under eye circles. However, after not having it with me this weekend, I thought my face looked haggard and drawn, and that my eyes looked very tired. I started using it again and voila! my eyes are back to being as bright as they could be and this reflected in my face. So it turns out that this product has done a lot for my under eye circles, but in a gradual manner.

To see significant results, it's clear that you have to use this for more than a few days. It's on the pricey side for me, a student, but as this is the only eye cream I use, and a little of this goes a long way, I give this a perfect overall rating.

I didn't really like this cream, it moisturises but I didn't notice any difference between before and after using a jar of it. The smell is weird and quite off putting

I personally like this better than GinZing. This is a thicker cream, I feel like my eyes are very moisturized with this product. I can't say anything about puffs because I've never had them but it seems to make me look less tired and I hope it will prevent future wrinkles by keeping my eyes very moisturized. I would use again for sure.
