Review: The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

Review:

I used The Ordinary Caffeine Solution for one month. This serum is serum/gel-like in texture. When I applied it to the skin around my eyes, it went on nicely. I didn’t have to blend it in much. All I do is glide the serum over the skin around my eyes and let it sink in. It takes a little bit of time to absorb into the skin. FYI, you don’t need a lot of product. I only use one drop for both eyes. After a month, I still have a lot of product left.

After a month of using this serum, I’ve already seen results. It didn’t get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, but it did smooth them out just a little. It also helped reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles. My dark under eye circles definitely benefited from this eye serum a lot more. 👍🏻 That sounds great and all, but there’s one thing I would like to mention. I thought the serum was drying even when I apply moisturizers on my skin. The weird thing is that it didn’t feel drying, but I can tell that my eye area looked dry when I apply makeup on. I can see that my eye area is flaking/being exfoliated. 👀 It’s not a good look either, lol. So I only use this eye serum at night. The recommended use is in the AM and PM. That’s way too much for me.

So from this experience with the caffeine eye serum, I like it. I have terrible dark under eye circles due to my complexion being fair (and I try to get enough sleep + eat healthy + drink lots of water). I still have them. With this serum, it has lessened the darkness a bit. If you have dark under eye circles, give it a shot. As for fine lines and wrinkles, maybe you’ll have better luck than me. I’m going to continue to use the caffeine eye serum. I’ll make an update within another month or so. Stay tuned for my updated review! See you there! 😃
