    Glad my girlfriend recommended to me

    I'm not an influencer, but I do have a little community of people that have been following me for a very long time. I do live a pretty fun life and I can be a little bit wild at heart. So I always try to share with my friends products that I'm trying food, etc. one of my high school friends shared with me that she uses the caffeine eye serum and being that the ordinary products that I had were working so well for my extremely sensitive skin I thought I would give it a try I just received an email saying that they came out with the serum for the face. I had already been adding it to my face and my under eyes so I look forward to trying out the face caffeine serum. I'm 45 with extremely sensitive skin and I have tried tons of products that say therefore sensitive skin and I know ordinary doesn't necessarily state that's for sensitive skin, but it works really well and pairs perfectly with my skin type

    Don't buy

    Don't buy!!I bought this product yesterday on 5/8/26. I put this product on later on in the evening after washing my face. I barely put the serum on. After I did my eyes started turning immediately red becoming irritated. I grab a make up wipe started wiping gentle under my eyes and the redness started slowly going away. I put eye drops in too. Am returning it immediately. I will use something else

    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.

    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.

    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.
