Dark circles and puffy eyes – the struggle is real. Especially for those of us who constantly battle late nights, early mornings, or just plain tired genes. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG serum seems to promise to give our eyes the rest they deserve after long days. But does it actually work? Or is it just the next overrated product? I delved into it myself (by dabbing up some on my own face, no doubt). And here’s the deal.
First Impressions: The Simplicity and Weightlessness of the Packaging and Formula
The Ordinary allows its products to be minimalistic above all and so, is the serum not similar. The dropper bottle is unadorned, though, and this is okay because the real beauty of the item is in the product itself. The serum is almost like water in its consistency and that is good because nobody wants a slime on their eyes which eventually gets inside.
What’s More: A Kind of Eye Treatment That Actually Wakes Up the Tired One
Listen, guys, I want to say that I don’t think this serum will ever the dark circles, which were made by the most siege of the dark under-eye spot I had. But, I have to be honest. It does make a shadow difference in the area. Just after I used it for 3 weeks, I saw my puffy under-eyes were not as bad as before, isn’t it great?. It’s not super dramatic, but it’s enough to save me from looking like I just got up from bed even if I actually did.
By the way, I found out one more thing: it goes well with other items in my skincare routine. My moisturizer or concealer wasn’t affected nor look clumsy, which is always a pensive thought when it’s an eye product.
The imperfect: Maybe It is Not a Wonder Drug (and The Rule is Waiting is Key)
You know, it is a big truth: in most cases, under-eye circles and puffiness are inherited traits; you cannot completely remove them. Maybe this serum can help a little, but do not imagine that it would get rid of them totally. Also, it does need time and thus you need to be patient. Stick to your schedule and make sure you follow the specific amount of product used, and perhaps you may notice some changes.
The Final Verdict: It’s A Mid-Range Product Suitable for a Slightly Brighter Look Without Breaking Your Wallet
The humble The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a good choice. Especially for people who desire an affordable alternative to puffy under-eyes and do not want to complicate things. Light, well layered and possibly with an insignificant incline may be some of the characteristics of it.
Would I Recommend This?
May be. If you have some little swelling and have financial problems, it would be fine to use. Just you should not wait up for your under eyes to be transformed. For more drastic outcomes, you may have to receive a professional consultation by a dermatologist or to explore other methods.
