The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum 30ml

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum 30ml is a lightweight, water-based eye serum formulated to target the visible appearance of dark circles and under-eye puffiness while helping tired-looking eyes appear brighter, fresher and more awake.

The formula combines a high 5% concentration of caffeine with Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG), an antioxidant ingredient related to green tea polyphenols. Caffeine helps improve the appearance of puffiness and promotes a brighter-looking under-eye area, while EGCG helps reduce the visible appearance of dark circles.

Its lightweight serum texture is designed specifically for the delicate eye contour and can be incorporated easily into both morning and evening skincare routines. The Ordinary currently lists the formula as suitable for all skin types, with a pH of 4.50–5.50.
