Product Details

To reduce the appearance of pigmentation and puffiness around the eye area.

This light-textured formula contains an extremely high 5% concentration of caffeine, supplemented with highly-purified EGCG from green tea leaves.

Independent studies have shown that topical use of each of caffeine and EGCG can help reduce looks of puffiness and of dark circles in the eye contour.

Size: 30ml

Targets: Puffiness, Dark Circles
Format: Water-Based Serum
Regimen Step: Before Oils/Creams
Conflicts: None from The Ordinary
When to use: AM and PM
Directions:
Massage a small amount onto the eye contour AM and PM.




What is it?
An elixir brewed for the sleep-deprived, reaching out to those haunted by dark circles and puffiness that come hand-in-hand with one another.

What’s in it?
↳ Caffeine: this works both inside and outside the body – who would’ve thought? A series of studies have found that caffeine’s topical application can reduce puffiness and the discolouration that comes with dark circles. It’s also rumoured to lessen the appearance of cellulite, so this is all the more reason to love coffee.
↳ Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG): a whole mouthful, but, in reality, this ingredient is extracted from green tea leaves. It’s what’s known as a polyphenol. This means that it’s rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, able to shield the skin from the environment and the effects of time.

What does it do?
It’s all about that delicate area under your eyes and brightening you up. Not only does this product want to actively help you to look more awake, it also wants you to feel that way. It work its gentle magic to reduce darkness under the eyes and reverse the effects of staying up way too late when you know you shouldn’t.

Notes:
1. Hollowness in the eye contour as a result of structure of sub-dermal tissues like fat and bone can result in visible shadows under the eyes. This shadow, which is not to be mistaken for dark circles, cannot be addressed with topical skincare including this formula.
2. Fat deposits under the eye contour can create permanent puffiness in this area. This type of deposit cannot be improved with topical skincare, including this formula.
3. Supplied in UV-protective packaging as EGCG is sensitive to light.

I live by this product. It’s great to dab on and run into my under eyes to help with my dark circles. Great value for the price and lasts ages.

Not a fan
I was super excited to this as I'm a victim of dark undereyes, however I didn't see any difference in puffiness, and op top of that, it caked my makeup under the eye :(

Eye bags
I am using the caffeine solution as a means of reducing the bags under my eyes. I've not been using it for long, but it certainly makes a difference to the morning eye bags.

Don't know why I got this I don't get dark under eyes but I'm sure it works. I just got it cause I want every product From this brand and it's cheap enough so why not. I actually want to gift it to my friend as she gets the mean dark undereyes.

This feels lovely on the eyes, but I'm not 100% sure it's actually doing anything. Been using it for over a month now. I will keep using it, but probably won't purchase again

Another fave in my skincare kit from The Ordinary!! Using before bed is ideal, you'll wake up with hydrated and smooth under eyes. A little bit goes a long way also :)

I really love this product. My skin feels more hydrated, my make up applies effortlessly, my pigmentation issue seems lighter- perhaps with prolonged use I'll see a markable difference. I would recommend this to friends and family because for the hydration it gives your skin and make up application being so much better that alone is a 10/10 I wish all products made this much difference :) definitely impressed

Easy to apply- you dont need much at all. Hard to tell if its doing anything to the pigmentation but can definitely see a difference in puffiness around the eyes.
