Tired, puffy eyes after a late night or an early morning usually need more than concealer to actually look refreshed. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG targets the underlying issue directly: a high concentration of caffeine works alongside EGCG, a powerful green tea antioxidant, to visibly energize the eye area and help brighten the look of dark circles.

Best For:
All skin types dealing with under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
Key Benefits of The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml:
  • Visibly brightens the under-eye area after three weeks, with continued improvement over time
  • Significantly decreases the appearance of dark circles within three weeks of consistent use
  • Minimizes the look of under-eye puffiness within three weeks
  • Lightweight, water-based formula that layers easily into any skincare routine
  • Can be stored in the fridge for an extra cooling, refreshing sensation on application
Active Ingredients & How They Work:
  • Caffeine (5%): works to visibly energize the eye area and is commonly used to help reduce the appearance of puffiness through its effect on microcirculation.
  • Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG): a bioengineered, stabilized form of green tea's signature antioxidant, it helps protect and soothe the delicate skin around the eyes while supporting a brighter appearance.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: helps the skin retain moisture, supporting a plumper, more hydrated look around the eye contour.
