The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, Depuffing Eye Serum for Dark Circles and Tired Eyes

been using The Ordinary Caffeine Solution for a couple of months now, and I’ve definitely noticed a difference. I use it mostly in the mornings, and it helps reduce puffiness and makes my under eye area look more awake. It feels lightweight.It doesn’t magically erase dark circles overnight, but with consistent use, my eyes look much less tired and more refreshed, so it’s definitely worth the price. I love how it layers under my moisturizer and makeup toono piling or irritation.

This stuff is awesome! Suffer from dark circles. Have been using consistently am and pm. For the price, I will definitely keep using and becoming a big fan of this skincare line!

I’ve been using The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution for a few days now, mainly to target dark circles and morning puffiness under my eyes. The serum has a light brown amber tint almost like watered-down tea. It looks a little unusual at first, but once applied to the skin, the color disappears completely. No staining, no tint left behind. It absorbs fairly quickly, especially if you use a tiny amount (which is all you need). It can feel slightly tacky for a minute or two, but once it dries down, it sits well under moisturizers and concealer. I just give it a few moments before layering anything on top. Like most of The Ordinary products, it has no added fragrance. You might catch a very faint, almost clinical scent from the ingredients, but it’s hardly noticeable. Great for sensitive skin or anyone avoiding fragrance.

I've had this Ordinary Caffeine Solution (OCS) for four months now, so am able to give it a fair assessment. Let me first say that I appreciate The Ordinary for providing some excellent ingredients in their line of products while also offering them at affordable prices. Thank you!Insomnia runs in both sides of my family. On top of that, I worked the overnight shift for decades, and I'm no Spring chicken! My eye bags have their own bags! I've tried all kinds of products and ingredients, some offering temporary benefits while others made no difference. I have sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. This OCS is gentle enough that it neither irritates my skin nor my eyes. I like that it's NOT a cream. Creams leave a shiny ring wherever I apply it, despite gently tapping it in and allowing it to dry. This OCS is a slightly thick liquid with a pale beige hue to it. It absorbs well and doesn't leave any greasy, shiny residue after application. It works well at reducing the puffy eyes. I keep it in the fridge as the cold supposedly enhances the depuffing effect. I use it consistently and will sometimes layer it underneath another, thicker eye cream at night for added effects. Just a little dab under the eyes and under my eyebrow, then gently tapping it in to spread around with my ring finger until it's absorbed. I'm guessing you know never to rub the delicate skin under the eyes. Although I've had this OCS for 4 months, I've still got about 2/3's of the bottle remaining. For the effectiveness AND the price, it's worth it. I currently have 2 other eye care products and at 7 times higher the price...yet this OCS gives me better results.

My routine for the AM: oil cleanser- milk toner- niacinamide- caffeine solution for eyes- beta moisturizer.My routine for the PM: SA Cleanser- essence- hyaluronic- caffeine solution for eyes- Beta moisturizer.For deep moisturizer i place Biodance pads on my cheeks and cut one up for my nose and I leave it on until it dries.When I wake up I use rosewater facial mist.

My makeup puts on nicely.Thank You Ordinary! Please so not ever change your prices. You got a loyal FOR LIFE!! I love these products. Affordable and I can come to them time and time again!

very effective and quick acting for the depuffing and dark circles and brightening as advertised but after using it for a few days even with moisturizer overtop it made my under eyes so dry that I had the wrinkles of a truly elderly person and I am in my 30s with no wrinkles yet so I would say ok to buy but use it sparingly for days when you really need it and be very careful with this potent product. I was so scared of how my eyes looked and that it might not be reversible that I started researching and found other people with the same experience here and on the reddit. it took religious application of eye cream for a week to undo the damage. I like most of ordinary products but the good molecules yerba mate version is gentler and better than this one in my opinion

I’ve been using The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG for a few weeks now.The serum has a lightweight, slightly sticky texture,absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish. A little goes a long way.After consistent use, I did notice a slight reduction in puffiness under my eyes, especially in the morning. However, I haven’t seen a dramatic change in my dark circles yet.I have sensitive skin, and luckily, this product didn’t cause any irritation or dryness. it’s affordable, gentle, and pairs well with other skincare products. Just be patient and consistent. Great Bottle Sizze.
