Posted by dulwichmum on Tue 3 August 2010
Name of product: GinZing refreshing eye cream – by Origins
Price: £20 for 15 mls
The blurb: “Brightens and depuffs! Late night? Long flight? Look tired all the time? Prepare to become one of the perky people!
86% brighter appearance
80% reduction in puffiness
Nature’s clinically-proven morning-after eye cream instantly reduces dark circles. Unsightly bags and puffiness virtually disappear. And Origins proprietary complex of Caffeine from Coffee bean, Panax Ginseng, Magnolia Extract and natural optic brighteners rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to tired eyes”
First impressions: There are some pretty dramatic claims made about this eye cream on the press release and on the web site. The advertising is slick and eye catching – I love the association with coffee! The zingy orange colour of the small plastic jar is fun, and the mild orange colour of the cream – is cheerful. The consistency is gel like and glossy and it is quickly absorbed into the skin without any effort at all
Ease of Use: Gently dab around eye area with fingertip in the A.M. or as needed
Pros: This product is very topical – everyone in the office tried to nab it off me, it really has caused a stir! It has taken a good six weeks to do it, but my dark circles have been completely eliminated by this product – I had no idea how ageing those dark circles were (admires own image in hand held mirror)! I know that there is always Touche Eclat – but sans make-up, by the pool, first thing in the morning etc – this product is a marvel!
Cons: This eye cream is cooling, refreshing and easily absorbed, but it will do nothing for your wrinkles. If you have dark circles and eye bags to depuff along with wrinkles I am afraid that you may have to pop on your slingbacks and go consult a surgeon (bats eyelashes)!
Value for money:. This is a super product and it comes at a reasonable price – I am a complete convert!
Dulwichmum verdict:
