Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Depuffing Eye Serum for Dark Circles

I decided to order this after reading it as being a ‘miracle for dark circles’. It boasts 5% caffeine which makes it good for brightening the undereye skin, and reducing any puffiness. This is a yellow tinted serum with an almost gel-like consistency which easily absorbs into the skin. I apply this morning and night, even on my eyelids, and always use this before I apply any other skincare products, so it gets the chance to seep right into my skin and work its magic. The dropper is really handy as it allows you to control the exact amount you want - I usually apply 2 drops and gently tap it under my eyes and blend outwards to soak into the skin. If I wear it during the day, I leave it around 5 minutes to set in, before moving on to moisturizer. Honestly, I didn’t see a difference right away, but after a few weeks I do see a slight improvement. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't sit well with makeup, and sometimes I feel it sitting under concealer, so I use it mostly on no makeup days when I can really let it sink into the skin. However, I would recommend trying it, as I feel my under eye area has improved since using this, and I certainly look more awake than before! -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

This caffeine eye serum has a watery gel texture. A small amount goes a long way and absorbs without residue. It does not have a hydrating effect. But I was after the calming and brightening effect. After a while of continuous use, I did not notice a difference with under eye colour. Maybe my under eye colour is cause by something other than pigment, thus it’s beyond the scope of what this serum can provide. Not only that, within around 1-2 weeks of continuous use, my skin started becoming dry wherever I apply this serum. I did takes it beyond under eye skin. I went back to check and realise this serum contain lactic acid. As someone with sensitive skin this proofs to be too much. Maybe using this on alternating days might resolve the drying issue. But overall this did not work the way I had hoped. I’m still giving credits to the antioxidants profile and the easy to spread texture.

I have purchased many of the high dollar eye serums and creams. None of them work as well as this product does for reducing puffiness and giving my eye areas an overall refreshed look. This is now my one and only effective and reliable go to product. I'm so glad I found it. Although I use it all of the time. I find I really notice huge results when I travel. Eating different foods and not getting adequate sleep can really play havoc on my eye bags. But a few minutes after applying this serum, my eyes look so refreshed. I actually look refreshed even though I'm usually exhausted when traveling. Also, I have very sensitive skin and eyes. This has never given me a negative reaction. I highly recommend this serum. FYI...I also apply a small amount to my scalp to help my hair grow faster around my face. It doesn't leave any greasiness in my hair.

This serum didn’t help much I’ve been using for more then 4 months and didn’t see any changes.

THIS STUFF WORKS!! I have allergies and get very puffy eyes during allergy season. I’ve tried everything and nothing worked except this! It wasn’t over night but it WORKED! I ran out and the puffiness was back and I couldn’t wait long enough to get more. Thank you guys for making it and making it affordable! 💕

Bought a week ago and was using it twice a day as directed for the past few days. I was hoping for improvement of blue circles which there was no effect. Yesterday I notice small red rash start under my eye. I do have sensitive skin but didn’t expect the delayed response. Overall, waste of money wouldn’t bother purchasing if you have sensitive skin as you might get a delayed reaction like me.
