    I have finally found my HG product for dark circles. This stuff blew my mind right from the first use. It is tied for 1st place among my The Ordinary favourites (The Alpha Lipoic Acid is my other...

    Since I can remember I've had dark circles and eyes that always look puffy and red, I've used various eye creams and gels but they've done nothing. This Caffeine solution has been amazing for me,...

    I like it very much. It's true that it doesn't do THAT much for under-eye circles, but it does help the puffiness and I do look less tired after using this. Plus, it feels quite good when applying...

    Works well on puffiness, does nothing for dark eye bags (though I wasn't expecting it to). It can also leave my under-eye area feeling a little tight if I don't immediately apply moisturiser over...

    I would repurchase, but you need such a small amount I doubt I'll need to in the year ahead. This is the only thing that's reduced my puffiness. I have CFS, I'm chronically tired all the time...

    I said I would repurchase if I ran out again, but I honestly don't think I will ever run out of this because a little goes a very long way. No eye cream can actually get rid of under eye...

    I've been using this, one drop each morning and night, for about 6 weeks. It's really helped reduce my morning eye puffiness/bags significantly. I'd say my before was a 6 out 10 (10=worst), and...

    This product works really well at reducing the under eye bags. However the skin under my eyes went really crepey (or should I just say crappy!). So disappointed and gutted because it's aged me 10...

    This is the only product in The Ordinary line that I would not repurchase. I was skeptical about it from the beginning and rightly so: after weeks of daily use my dark circles remain.

    Because my eyes are deep set and I've hit the genetic lottery, I have bags under my eyes and dark circles. I haven't found much that's been able to combat the puffiness until this. It's a...
