The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - 30ml

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a lightweight depuffing eye serum that targets dark circles and under-eye puffiness with 5% concentrated caffeine and EGCG from green tea. Clinical testing showed a visible reduction in the appearance of dark circles over 3 weeks, with continued improvement through consistent use.

5% caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, it constricts blood vessels under the thin eye skin, reducing both the dark appearance of pooled blood and fluid-related puffiness. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside), a bioengineered, stabilised form of green tea's most powerful antioxidant, targets pigmentation and oxidative stress around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid hydrates the delicate eye area. Oxidised glutathione provides antioxidant support. Soybean extract conditions the skin.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to the orbital bone area around both eyes.

5. Leave on, do not rinse off.

Pro tip: Store this in the fridge for an extra cooling, depuffing sensation, the cold temperature enhances caffeine's vasoconstrictive effect and feels incredibly refreshing in the heat. The 30ml tube is generous for an eye product, at a pea-sized amount per use, this lasts 3-4 months. Caffeine works best with consistent daily use; don't expect overnight results, but by week 3 you should see a real difference. This also works well on puffy morning eyes, the caffeine constricts swollen blood vessels quickly. Can be used on the entire face, not just the eye area, though it's specifically formulated for the thin, delicate eye contour skin.
