Review

Results you may expect from using Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10.0 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈3.0%) and Cetyl Ricinoleate (est. ≈2.5%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Folic Acid, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈1.5%), Panax Ginseng Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Castanea Sativa (Chestnut) Seed Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
