The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, Depuffing Eye Serum for Dark Circles and Tired Eyes

I’ve been using this eye serum for over 4 years, especially during winter, and it has become an essential part of my routine. As a physician, I can confidently say this product works wonders—particularly after night shifts. Despite its lightweight, water-like texture, it does not dry out the delicate under-eye area. I’ve never experienced pilling, and it layers perfectly under concealer and makeup. The serum is fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for sensitive eyes. After application, there is a noticeable tightening effect that helps reduce puffiness and the tired look almost instantly. This is exactly why I reach for it after sleepless nights—it visibly refreshes and awakens the under-eye area. In terms of longevity, the depuffing effect lasts for several hours, making a real difference throughout the day. A small amount goes a long way, so one bottle lasts a long time. Overall, this is an affordable, effective, and no-nonsense eye serum with real results—backed by years of personal use and medical experience.

Although a little greasy, this is simple to use and leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth! This is my first bottle, and I use it sparingly to lessen puffiness around my nose and on my upper eyelids. It is lightweight, has a fresh scent, and is a maze-yellow color. I was worried because I was using a lot of oily products from The Ordinary, but I only mixed a small amount into my fingertips. My puffiness was fingerpainted away!

I got messed up with expensive products and decided to try good ol ordinary i was not disappointed!!! my first the ordinary product was squalane oil, and I was happy with it so I ordered this for my eyes. I am 24, so no terrible wrinkles yet, just darkness around the eyes from constant tiredness and puffiness (family thing). The product is lightweight and does not feel cheapy, feels like a good quality product. I tried this morning for the first time, and left my skin makeup free for a while because I wanted to see results. I was impressed with results I saw for one time use. My lids and undereyes definitely appeared brighter. Will try to leave a review after a month of use.

I've had this Ordinary Caffeine Solution (OCS) for four months now, so am able to give it a fair assessment. Let me first say that I appreciate The Ordinary for providing some excellent ingredients in their line of products while also offering them at affordable prices. Thank you! Insomnia runs in both sides of my family. On top of that, I worked the overnight shift for decades, and I'm no Spring chicken! My eye bags have their own bags! I've tried all kinds of products and ingredients, some offering temporary benefits while others made no difference. I have sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. This OCS is gentle enough that it neither irritates my skin nor my eyes. I like that it's NOT a cream. Creams leave a shiny ring wherever I apply it, despite gently tapping it in and allowing it to dry. This OCS is a slightly thick liquid with a pale beige hue to it. It absorbs well and doesn't leave any greasy, shiny residue after application. It works well at reducing the puffy eyes. I keep it in the fridge as the cold supposedly enhances the depuffing effect. I use it consistently and will sometimes layer it underneath another, thicker eye cream at night for added effects. Just a little dab under the eyes and under my eyebrow, then gently tapping it in to spread around with my ring finger until it's absorbed. I'm guessing you know never to rub the delicate skin under the eyes. Although I've had this OCS for 4 months, I've still got about 2/3's of the bottle remaining. For the effectiveness AND the price, it's worth it. I currently have 2 other eye care products and at 7 times higher the price...yet this OCS gives me better results.

Love this!! In fall/winter my face always gets a weird texture; it reminds me of alligator texture. It’s awful. I’ve tried all the serums/essences/barrier creams etc. I bought this for my undereyes and without thinking one morning spread it all over my face. Noticed later that day my texture felt improved. Kept using it all over my face. It’s AWESOME!!! I live in NY; it’s WINTER and yet, no funky skin texture for the first time in years!! I could probably just purchase the main oil ingredient elsewhere but why, when this isn’t expensive, it works and a bottle lasts several months?! I’m a customer for as long as this is being sold!! Also, there’s NO scent which I love!!

Tired of overpriced caffeine sticks that lasted very little and did not work as fast/good, I decided to try this solution from a brand I trust for other products. I use it as part of my skin care routine before bed and before work in the morning. My skin was not sticky (I use very little and pat it down) I noticed that it preserved the moisture in my skin and the puffiness was reduced considerably and I am happy with that. For the dark circles I use a brightener. If this solution improves my under eyes skin tone, I will update my review in the future. In the meanwhile, I can say that it works better than the caffeine sticks.

I’m amazed by the result and quality of this product. I’ve tried many different ones out there but this specific one just seems to do the magic. Will definitely recommend to anyone (will be getting more for my family too!!)

طبعا حلو بس مكنتش شارية ليا للمدام

Estou usando há uns dois meses e a diferença na área aplicada é notável. Hidrata e rejuvenesce a área dos olhos., além de ter bom rendimento, em relação ao preço.

Very good for skin

This serum feels like a quick recharge for the under-eye area. The lightweight formula absorbs fast without leaving any residue, delivering a cooling, tightening sensation that helps reduce puffiness almost instantly. With consistent use, dark circles appear lighter and the skin around the eyes feels smoother and more refreshed. The blend of caffeine and EGCG from green tea gives it an energizing touch that actually makes your eyes look more awake, especially on tired mornings. A little goes a long way — just a drop per eye is enough. Simple, affordable, and effective, it’s a staple for anyone who wants to look well-rested without layering on heavy creams.
