🌿 Why Caffeine Works
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it helps tighten blood vessels. This can reduce:
-
Dark circles (especially if caused by poor circulation or puffiness)
-
Under-eye bags & puffiness
-
Mild inflammation
-
Tired-looking eyes
It also has antioxidant properties, which help fight signs of aging and improve overall skin tone.
🔬 What Caffeine 5% Serum Can Do
Concern | How It Helps |
---|---|
Dark Circles | Reduces appearance if they’re vascular (bluish/purple tones) |
Puffiness | De-puffs swollen eyes, especially in the morning |
Fine Lines/Wrinkles | Hydration + antioxidant effects may soften them over time |
Tired Eyes | Boosts circulation, makes eyes look more awake |
💡 Pro tip: Look for products that also include EGCG (from green tea) — it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant combo with caffeine.
📋 How to Use It (Daily Routine)
🌅 Morning (Best Time)
-
Cleanse your face
-
Apply one drop of the serum under each eye
-
Gently tap (don’t rub!) using your ring finger
-
-
Moisturize (especially an eye cream to lock it in)
-
SPF is a must — protects delicate under-eye skin
🌙 Evening (Optional)
You can use it at night, but morning is best for puffiness.
⏱️ When You’ll See Results
-
Puffiness: 15–30 mins (temporary but quick)
-
Dark circles: 2–4 weeks with consistent use
-
Fine lines: 6–8+ weeks, especially if paired with retinol or peptides (at night)
⚠️ Tips & Cautions
-
Avoid getting too close to the lash line
-
Don’t overuse — a small amount is enough
-
If you feel irritation, stop and use a gentler product
-
Works best when stored cool (some people keep it in the fridge for extra depuffing power)
