Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

product review positives
What it is: Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a water-based serum that reduces the look of puffiness and dark circles in the eye contour. The formula works by combining a high concentration of caffeine with a highly-purified epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside (EGCG). Targets: Puffiness, Dark Circles Suited to: All Skin Types Format: Water-based Serum Key ingredients: Caffeine, Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside - ph level: 4.50 - 5.00 - alcohol-free - oil-free - silicone-free - nut-free - vegan - gluten-free - cruelty-free Please note that dark circles can be caused by a number of reasons (i.e. stress, lack of sleep, genetics, etc.) and hereditary dark circles cannot be addressed by topical skincare treatments. My Skin Type: Sensitive Skin Thoughts and Experience: The first time I tried this serum, it felt cool and refreshing. It has no smell, it is very lightweight and really fast absorbing. It has a gel like consistency but turns watery as soon as applied. It did not sting my eyes, and isn’t sticky. This isn’t a hydrating serum so you really need a moisturizing product to seal everything. It did reduce my dark circles but it wouldn’t completely go away since mine’s genetic. Let’s talk about the packaging, it is very aesthetically pleasing. This serum has a UV protected glass bottle. I am not a fan of their dropper since it is quite messy, I prefer pointed ones. All in all, 8/10. I would say, you give it a whirl and see if it works for you since there are many factors to consider behind your dark circles.
product review negatives
Not a fan of their dropper, it’s kind of messy. I prefer a more pointed one. Isn’t hydrating so you need to use another product to moisturize.
