I received this product Ago and it is such an excellent product. I truly recommend the appearance is amazing.

Thank you so much for my free product The Ordinary! Ever since having a baby, my under eyes are my biggest insecurity - extremely dark and large bags. I have worn makeup anytime I am going to leave the house because of how insecure I am over it. But, ever since I started using The Ordinary caffeine eye serum, my dark circles are SO much better! I have even left the house without makeup recently!! Big win! Thank you so much The Ordinary!

I got this product and as a student with visible dark circles, this product is a game changer.

6months of using and I wish I would have taken before pictures to show you. When I look back at pictures from 3-4 years ago, I didn’t notice then, but oh my, the bags under my eyes were awful. you wouldn’t believe the difference. Zero bags now. I just hope it works as good for you as it did for me. I’ll keep it in my rotation for sure!

It is super important to use serum for the eye contour, I love this one since it helps moisturize and lighten the area, I love this brand and it was a gift from them! It’s - 5% concentration of Caffeine: Works to reduce puffiness. - Epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside: Works to help reduce the appearance of dark circles.

I’ve been using the Caffeine Eye Serum for a few days now, and I already notice a difference!\nThe texture is super light and absorbs quickly — perfect for morning use before makeup.\n\nAfter 2–3 days, my under-eye area looks less puffy and a bit brighter. I’ll keep using it to see full results, but so far I really like how refreshed my eyes look.

Une catastrophe. Le contours des yeux complètement brûlés. Je sais que j’aurais du essayer sur le bras avant comme préconisé mais je me retrouve quand même aux urgences…

I bought this several months ago and don’t really notice a difference. I only use it under my eyes. It doesn’t sting or discolor my skin. No harsh smell.

This lightweight serum targets puffiness and dark circles using caffeine and EGCG, an antioxidant from green tea. It feels soothing, absorbs quickly, and gives my under-eye area that refreshed, awake look even on days I didn’t get enough sleep.

I bought this a month ago and have used it once or twice every day, and it seems to have worked. I sleep pretty late at night every day so my dark circles have been worsening. So I tried to find a product that would lessen the appearance of my dark circle and puffiness. This product lessened the appearance of my dark circles. I don't think this product might work for everyone but I noticed a change for my eyes, so I definitely recommend this. Although there seems to be a lot of residue building up on the opening of the bottle but it's ok. BUT I LOVE THIS PRODUCT THANK YOU THE ORDINARY THE APPEARANCE OF MY DARK CIRCLES ARE SO MUCH BETTER <3

Been using The Ordinary Caffeine Serum for the past 2 weeks — it’s made a subtle difference with puffiness. Doesn’t erase dark circles (especially if they’re genetic), but it helps me look a bit more awake in the mornings!\ncomplimentary from The Ordinary

I’m not one to leave reviews at all but I had to with this product. I brought this during lockdown (4 years ago) and used it religiously. I stopped and decided to re-purchase it last month, after 2 days of using it I had gotten an allergic reaction underneath my eyes. They feel very sore, red and itchy, they’re aren’t as bad as before but it definitely does hurt so I will be seeking medical attention. I think they may have changed the formula so PLEASE DON’T PURCHASE!!! I wish I checked the reviews again as a lot of people are saying they’re experienced a chemical burn with this product and are experiencing the exact same symptoms of allergic\n reaction that I am too.

I received this product from offered by the ordinary! After using The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, I’ve seen a marked improvement in the puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. The product comes in a handy amber glass dropper bottle, which keeps the solution protected from light. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula leaves no residue, making it easy to apply around the eyes both morning and night. The caffeine works wonders in reducing under-eye bags, while the EGCG helps with inflammation and offers skin protection. With its focus on potent active ingredients and a minimalistic ingredient list, it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Considering its affordability and longevity, this product provides excellent value. Overall, this solution has become an essential part of my skincare regimen, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to tackle puffiness or dark circles.

I seriously cannot believe the dramatic results I have had with this product. I've always had a very dark vein under one of my eyes, which was very visible since I have very light olive skin. I didn't think anything would work except for getting it filled out with an injectable, or something...but I could see a difference right after the first application. I have been using 1 drop shared between both of my under eyes for the past 2-3 days. Half of my vein is not visible anymore. It literally looks airbrushed. I look like I am wearing makeup! My under eye just looks more bright and I look more awake. I don't know if with time it will go away completely but so far I am beyond satisfied with this product....

I bought this product because I have fairly dark circles and was hoping this may help to improve this. I have been using this product for about one week now and have seen a difference already in my under eyes. My dark circles look reduced and less purple/blue/black. They are only slightly dark near the tear duct which I don't mind. The only thing that I dislike about this product, however, is the fact that it tends to burn my eyes quite a bit. Every time I use this product my eyes water and slightly sting for about a half-hour after use. I'm not sure if this is something that will proceed to occur while I use it or if it will only occur in the beginning stages of me using it. I did a patch test and had no skin irritation, only an irritation when it is near my eyes. Thank you for this product however, it makes me always look awake even when I'm sleep deprived!

IT SERIOUSLY WORKS. I was originally skeptical of this product, enough to take it out of my online shopping basket at least half a dozen times before just buying it. But I’m so so glad I did end up making the purchase. The next morning after using it first time, the dark circles under my eyes were reduced way more than any other product has ever done. And the bags are less pronounced also. I’m genuinely shocked.I haven’t been using it long enough to speak for any drying like has occurred to others over time, but thanks to those reviews I do take extra care to use moisturizer under &/or over it. And so far so good! Thank you, yet again, to The Ordinary & DECIEM teams for another awesome product at an awesome price!!! <3 DECIEM Response: Thank you for this wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying everything so far!

I've been using the retinoid 2% for over a year and I was very happy with it though, admittedly, I wasn't inspired to write. Then this summer I started using Glow and thought: I have got to write about this stuff! No actual change in skin color but a real sense of... glow- I looked more awake, red. Then, in November I bought the caffeine solution and within a week I saw a huge difference. I've battled with puffy eyes and have tried many creams, solutions, cold packs, etc with no lasting results, if any. My eyes are not puffy at all even when I just wake up or haven't slept well The lines are noticeably less and the skin is far more even in tone. I love your company for your products and your policies- you have a client for life! DECIEM Response: We're so happy to hear you are enjoying The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG.

This product was my very first to try by The Ordinary and has started my new obsession with the brand. I didn’t really notice a difference in “tightening” after the first use but gradually over the next few days I could see a noticeable difference. My under eyes appeared less puffy and the skin is smoother. I’ve also noticed a difference in the pigment and I have less of a “shadow” or “tired” look. I saw my sister recently and she commented on how my eyes looked brighter and I didn’t look as tired as usual. The price can not be beat! The bottle will last forever!! Just to dabs under each eye in the am and pm and that’s all it takes. I am so thrilled with the outcome! This product is drying even with moisturizer. It’s not drying enough that I would stop using it, but just be sure to moisturize the area afterwards. DECIEM Response: ❤❤❤❤

I've used two bottles but I never got great results because my dark circles are more about genetics -thin skin and hollowness, not about the circulation. I didn't like it under makeup, concealer looked worse over it. But helped with circulation and puffiness whenever I got poor sleep. However, my mother loves it. She has under eye bags and quite a lot of puffiness and uses it every day since 2017. \n I'm now trying the subq eyes and sits beautifully under makeup.

I don't have problems with dark circles and puffiness, but I purchased this product to see it if will affect fine lines I have around my eyes. I am in the beginning of my twenties and I already have a lot of fine lines around my eyes and mouth since I smile and laugh a lot. This worked very well. I feel that my skin is firmer around my eye area and I am very happy about this. I even feel tightening up after I apply it. I also put it on the beginning of my eyelids. When I first started using this I had problems on my right eyelid. There was some redness and dryness for some time and it started spreading which made me frustrated, but after I used this it disappeared. Maybe it way totally unrelated, but I know that some natural creams and oils did nothing to it and it magically disappeared after using this, so it definitely done more than a great job. Love it!

This stuff is magic in a bottle. I have very puffy eyes. I mean REALLY puffy, especially red and puffy in the mornings.. Note: I have had to use steroids to control it when I once used another eye product that I was apparently extremely sensitive to and my eyes ballooned up. I only mention that to explain that I am extremely sensitive to skin care products, and if you have extreme swelling see a good atologist! So, for this product, I did a tiny test patch and then gradually increased it and finally (yay) realized I wasn't going to react at all and could proceed using this twice a day. I always recommend patch testing a tiny amount of product if you tend to react badly to ingredients. Anyway, It has made a visible difference in the puffiness - I look so much better as a result. I use a tiny bit morning and night.

Don't expect miracles but it has made a small difference in how my eye feels as well as how it looks. I personally have somewhat dark eye circles and fine lines around my eyes due to working in an office for long hours. It won't make you magically take away dark circles or make you no longer have tired eyes but what I can say is that it's slowly improved the condition of them. My eyes are no longer as dark and while the fine lines are there I can at least feel comfortable with glasses on since the shadow is no longer as dark. It's a product you can trust but just don't expect miracles if you have genetically dark eyes, but if you're like me then any small boost helps, especially at this price point. DECIEM Response: Thank you for the kind words - we're so happy to hear that you are enjoying our Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG!

Im sort of Meh on this product. I use it every AM under my eyes but since I don't have particularly bad dark circles or puffiness I can't really see a dramatic difference....but it's not making anything worse. I only need a single drop to cover both eyes so this stuff will last forever even while using it every day. Probably won't be repurchasing but if it works for you then it's a great value.
