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 studies show it significantly decreases the appearance of dark circles in 3 weeks with continual improvement.

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.
2. Gently pat with ring finger — never rub or pull the eye area.
3. Use morning and evening after cleansing.
4. Apply before moisturiser and SPF.
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 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.
