I was traveling on the east coast for most of the last three weeks and even though in theory there was a lot of time for sleeping and relaxing, somehow that never actually panned out and I ended up exhausted most of the time. Which led to even more dark circles and puffy eyes than usual. Never a good look on me. Luckily I'd packed a sample of Origins new GinZing eye cream that I'd been sent before I left Los Angeles, so I put it to the test. After about 5 days of using it, I definitely noticed that the bags under my eyes were less pronounced and seemed to have faded a little, which is what I was hoping for. (I used the cream under my makeup in the morning and at night before I went to bed). GinZing goes on with a slight cooling sensation and blends in easily, but what I really like about it is the slight shimmer that it leaves behind. (Due to the silica and mika ingredients). It makes the area under my eyes a little glowy and somehow, that makes it less old person looking. (I mean, I'll be middle-aged at some point, there's no need for my eyes to get there decades earlier). GinZing also contains caffeine, which in skin care works as an anti-irritant that helps to calm your skin. Overall, I thought GinZing did a really good job of making my under eye area look much more well rested and smooth. It's a pretty good value too - the jar is $29.50, but it's .5 ounces, so if you use the correct amount and don't over cream (a beauty faux pas I'm trying not to commit anymore) it should last you a decent amount of time. Also, GinZing is just a silly word to say, right? Who said beauty wasn't fun?






Is it okay to put eye cream at night or it is really applied at night? I'm new to this. Zing!

You can put it on any time you want, really, but most people put it on at night or at night and in the morning. It's all up to you!

You are always finding good stuff to share with us online! Thank you! Do you think its the ginseng ingredient or the other ingredients that really make the difference? Is there any research or product website which explains why this is effective? I'm wondering if its just the "placebo" effect or if there's some real science behind this. Thanks.

I'm not too sure about why it works, but it really does a good job for me, so I'm okay with the mystery! You might be able to find out some more info if you google it though. Good luck! Let us know what you find.
