The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + ECG Solution

Hi How’s everything? Hope you all are safe at your home. Today I’ll be reviewing The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Solution that claims to reduce dark circles and puffiness.

Product Details

  • pH 4.50-5.00
  • Alcohol-free
  • Oil-free
  • Silicone-free
  • Nut-free
  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free
  • Cruelty-free

Experience using The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + ECG Solution

It comes in a dark coloured glass bottle that’s UV protected because EGCG is sensitive to light. There is a dropper with white top provided with it so you have a control over the amount of product dispensed.
It has a watery serum-like texture that is very pale golden in colour. It gets absorbed quickly but leaves slightly sticky feel for a few minutes. I need just one drop to cover both my eyes.

It has 2 main ingredients –

Caffeine works on puffiness, fights free radicals and reduces dark under eye circles and wrinkles around the eyes.

EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) is an antioxidant found in green tea and has anti-wrinkle effects and also reduces redness in the skin. It prevents inflammation due to UV rays.

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG has a lightweight texture that absorbs fairly quickly into the skin. It did nothing for my dark circles, it hydrates my under-eye area.

  • I was looking for a review of this product before trying. Thanks for your honest feedback on it.

  • Seems not effective for reducing dark circles and puffiness of eyes. Thanks for honest review, it's works for hydrating the area

  • My under eye skin is very sensitive... Since, it does nothing for dark circles and puffiness, I will give this a miss. Thank you for reviewing.

  • Removing dark circles is so important, but the ordinary Caffeine Solution does not seem to be effective in this regard, even though it has good hydrating properties.

  • I was actually looking for a review of this product & you just helped me save some money on a non-useful under eye serum .

  • Thanks for a complete honest review; i don’t think it will help me much in removing dark circles .And antioxidants can be derived from other milder products as well

  • I have dark circles under my eyes and am really keen on trying this product, thanks for sharing

  • I hate to say this but the ordinary products have been falling for me as well though I never thought I would be buying this simple caffeine solution as we can d i y it but other active products are falling for me
