Description

What does Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum do for the under-eye area? The serum targets the appearance of puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. Caffeine visibly energizes the eye area, while epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant, protects and soothes the delicate skin around the eyes. How often should I use Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum? The Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum can be used daily as part of your AM and PM skincare routines. Apply a small amount to the eye contour area after cleansing and before moisturizing. Can Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum be used with other eye creams or treatments? Yes. The Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum can be layered under other formulations. When using multiple The Ordinary formulations, apply the Caffeine Solution after cleansers and toners and before the moisturizers and SPF. How long does it take to see results with Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum? You may notice a reduction in puffiness within a few days of consistent use. For dark circles and overall improvement in the appearance of the eye area, it may take several weeks of regular application to see more noticeable results.

    • Simple, affordable eye serum that helps with puffiness
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This eye serum has become an easy part of my routine. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn't feel greasy or sticky under makeup. My under-eye area looks less puffy and more refreshed, especially in the mornings when I'm looking a little tired. A very very small amount goes a long way, and the dropper makes it easy to apply just what you need. For the price, it's a great value and a solid pick if you want a simple, no-fuss eye treatment. ... show more

    • Promising First Impressions! Gentle Formula & Sleek Packaging

I just got this a few days ago to help with under-eye puffiness, so it’s a bit early to judge long-term effectiveness or overall brightening results, but my initial impression is very positive! The packaging looks sleek and professional. For overall ease of use, the glass dropper makes application simple; the directions recommend one drop per eye, but running a finger along the applicator tip gives just the right amount of product. The serum has a nice, rich texture that absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving a sticky residue. The skin compatibility is impressive—I accidentally got a little directly in my eye and was very surprised that it didn't sting at all! The fragrance is subtle, light, and very pleasant, which is a big plus for sensitive eye areas. I’ll plan to update this review in a couple of weeks to share how it performs over time, but for right now, I remain very hopeful and would consider a repurchase if the depuffing results follow! ... show more

    • Perfect
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve used this product for years at this point. I didn’t think it was too effective initially, so when I ran out didn’t repurchase. A couple months later I realized what a difference it made. Repurchased, went home for summer, and my sister complimented my lack of under eye bags which is something I’ve never heard before. How I use it: I’ll rub the dropper in a small triangle (two strokes at 45 degrees) a half inch under the corner of my eye. (I know I know shouldn’t touch dropper to face in skincare world, but I’ve had no issues). I’ll then rub it in with my ring finger. Actually using the dropper for drops is way too much product for me and is just messy. I use it morning and night. Avoid the eye. No issues with makeup or sensitivity and I have very sensitive skin / acne prone. ... show more

Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
While I wouldn’t say it was a miracle worker it does help eliminate some of my puffiness and redness under my eyes, which as someone who has genetically puffy dark under eyes I will take. It only takes on drop per eye so it will probably last a while. Seem to work better on my eye bags than any patches I have tried. It isn’t greasy and can be a little drying so apply a good moisturizer after. ... show more

    • Great for Tired and Puffy Eyes
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really like this eye serum! It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy around my eyes. I especially like using it in the morning because it helps my under-eye area look less puffy and more refreshed. You only need a small amount, so the bottle lasts a long time. It layers nicely with the rest of my skincare products too. Simple, affordable, and a great addition to my morning routine! ... show more

    • Made my eye twitch!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have genetic dark circles that get worse when I don’t get enough sleep. I’ve used tons of undereye creams and serums, mostly with middling results. I saw a lot of recommendations online for this one, and due to the low price, I decided to give it a shot. It seems to work okay on the dark circles — it’s not a miracle product, but I noticed a slight difference using it as directed in the morning and at night. However, there was one major issue: within a couple days of starting to use this product, my right eye started twitching at random throughout the day. At first, I didn’t connect the dots. I was in the middle of a busy workweek. I had to wake up much earlier than usual for work or appointments most days. I was also spending more time staring at my laptop screen between work and writing. I figured the twitching was a result of stress and all these other factors — until I decided to do some digging online. I found multiple Reddit threads of other people complaining about eye twitching while using this product. It has to do with the concentration of caffeine in it. (I only drink one cup of coffee a day and rarely have caffeinated sodas, so those weren’t an additional factor.) I discontinued use of this product immediately. The results weren’t good enough to put up with a twitching eye. I’m glad this serum was only $9 and I’m not out a ton of money. I know this product is beloved by a lot of people, but my advice is to proceed with caution. ... show more

    • It works!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don’t write a lot of reviews, but figured since I recommend this product to everyone I should. I absolutely love this eye serum. You only need a very small amount- the bottle I have has lasted me well over a year. I put it on every morning and probably within 20 mins I am able to put my eye makeup on. It doesn’t leave a weird feeling or have any residue left upon drying. I normally let it dry and then put a moisturizer over it and go about my normal routine. I have tried other products but nothing has worked like this. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • You can FEEL it tightening your skin
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff works, but like any good skin care routine, it takes a little time. I bought this more for the reduction of puffiness as opposed to dark circles. A little bit goes a VERY long way, so it is an excellent value for the price. I dab a little of the serum under my eyes after cleansing and wait for it to set in. You can literally FEEL it tightening the skin under your eyes. It's not a miracle cure, but it really does do what it claims to do. I will continue purchasing as I am pleased with the product and the relatively quick results. ... show more
