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 UAE 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.
