I have used the caffeine solution for several years, because it is excellent at keeping my under eyes from being puffy. And it is very gentle and inexpensive. It’s a winner for sure!

Worth the purchase
The serum glides on and absorbs easily. It somewhat achieves the desired affect; but works better once I started storing it in the refrigerator. Apply the cold serum just after washing my face. Within 20 min, lines are minimized but not gone.

Do not buy it
If you have sensitive skin DO NOT BUY this, it burns and irritates

My eye became tender the first day after applying, and then got swollen two days after the first use.

under eye serum
I would definitely recommend this serum because of how nice it feels on the skin, as well as its effect after time, but I'm not really a fan of how messy the packaging is. It almost always leaks out of the top and gets the lid stuck. This under eye serum doesn't have much effect on its own- but what I found is that you need to pair it with reusable eye patches to really seal the product into your skin. I've done this for two years now with the same product, and I've gotten the same amazing result after maybe 20 minutes. The value is great for this product. It's lasted me two years, and that's with consistent use. The only reason I took it down to 4 stars is because it sometimes burns my undereyes after a bit, but other than that, would highly recommend.

This stuff really works I use it along with my turmeric soap and my skin is bright my dark eyes and puffiness is reduced I would recommend and moisturizer after application or it will leave a white residue when it dries.

works but not for me
This product does what it says, depuffs the eye bags and brightens. Unfortunately im prone to milia under my eyes and after 2 days of using this in the morning I had a lot of milia pop up.

Working great for sensitive fair skin!
I am caucasian and have natural dark circles. I have used under eye creams and never thought anything helps. I have enjoyed other Ordinary products so I decided to try this. I have used it 4 days, and I can see the difference! it is so cool! I have sensitive skin. The first time I used it I might have "felt" something, but it went away quickly. I really like that you put this on the crease of the lower eye. To me this means the line of where the bottom of the dark circl meets my cheek. I highly recommend. I don't notice a smell. and I use one drop shared for both eyes.

So good!
The Caffeine Solution deflates the bags under my eyes. Product says to use in the morning and at night, but I just use it as needed and it's never failed me.

Not for me
I love a good under eye cream but for some reason when this one dries it leaves a white cast on my skin and I don't like it
