Hyaluronic Acid: One of the best moisturizing ingredients, hyaluronic acid attracts water into the upper layer of the skin and acts as a sponge to attract and retain skin’s water content. Hero IngredientsĬaffeine and Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG): Help to reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles underneath the eyes.

I did a patch test before the PM application and didn’t have any adverse reaction. The solution comes in a small 30 mL glass vial with a built in dropper, the typical packaging for most of The Ordinary’s popular serums and solutions.
If the other factors are the reason behind your puffiness and dark circles you may not have very much luck with this product.Ĭheck out my under eyes before the treatment.
#THE ORDINARY CAFFEINE SOLUTION DRIVER#
It’s important to know that dark circles and puffiness are caused by a few different things: lack of sleep, fat deposits under the eye, enlarged blood vessels, unhealthy lifestyle causing inflammation, and the list goes on.Ĭaffeine is effective if the dark circle driver is enlarged blood vessels, because caffeine is a vasoconstrictor.
My skincare routine was as follows: I cleansed with Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser, applied the Drunk Elephant Glycolic Night Serum, applied the caffeine solution, and then moisturized with the Acure Ultra Hydrating 12 HR Moisturizer. My skin type is combination and can be slightly sensitive to intense products. I used this product every night as the second to last step in my PM routine. Remembering how impressed I was with that product, I decided to give them a chance to fix my stubborn dark circles and try out The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. However, after the major success I saw using doing a 2 week before and after of the Ordinary Peeling Solution. I’d given up on fixing that long ago, knowing my sleep habits. If you’re like me, and you find falling and staying asleep extremely difficult, you’ve probably come to terms with your perpetual under eye circles. Unfortunately since you're already twitching you'll undoubtedly have to cut it out of your routine entirely until everything goes back to normal, I wouldn't try just reducing use somewhat at this point because eye twitching is pretty persistent.īut once you've gotten completely back to normal and had no twitch for some weeks, you could try reintroducing the serum sparingly to see if you can claw back some of the nice parts of using the product.For our third edition of “does this product actually deliver results” we’re trying out The Ordinary Caffeine Solution with before and after pictures! I use very little, and I don't use it everyday, and that approach seems to provide lesser but still present benefits while avoiding the twitch. I will say however that I have slowly returned to using the TO caffeine serum, but cautiously. I don't have any alternative products I'm afraid, I'm not super knowledgeable and everything I have heard indicates caffeine is really the only ingredient that will produce the depuffing effect - so if caffeine causes eye twitch for you you just have to abstain from this type of product. Oh no! I'm sorry this happened to you as well, here's hoping it clears up quickly.
I still would have tried it if I had known, but I would have stopped as soon as I noticed a problem instead of misdiagnosing the cause.Īlso, if you do find yourself in my position, I'll share that it took 2-3 weeks after I discontinued use for the twitch to completely go away, and completely cutting out caffeine from my diet seemed to be an important factor in it finally easing up. Just that if/when you do try it, you should be aware of potential side effects so you can keep an eye out for them (pun intended). This isn't intended to claim this is such a common side effect, you shouldn't use it, it's terrible. I was certainly completely unaware when I started using it. I also had some people say they experienced the same when I posted my comment yesterday, but in general there doesn't seem to be much talk about this potential side effect, and as a result there seems to be a lack of awareness of it. Once I realized though, I did some googling and found a just a few scattered accounts of people saying it caused the same for them. It took me a while to connect the dots, because 3 weeks is outside the time frame of most common reactions, I had no idea a caffeine solution could cause this, and because eye twitching can be and most commonly is caused by stress and eye strain. However, after 3ish weeks, my eye started twitching. I found the caffeine solution really effective for my under eye puffiness, and noticed some improvement with undereye dark circles. I put this in a comment yesterday, but I realized it probably deserves its own post.
