Okay but could also do without it
I have seen some pleasing results whilst using this with some depuffing under the eyes however it does not seem too effective for long periods of time. Definite...
Hydrating
Made my undereyes super hydrated but I have lash extentions so I can’t use unfortunatelyNot great
I did not find that this serum helped my crows feet. I prefer to use an eye cream.Brightens skin
Easy to use and brightens skin nicely.Doesn’t do much
I’ve been using this product for about 3 months and never noticed a difference everything has stayed the same don’t recommendHydrating
Pocket friendly little goes long way eyes feels hydrating and bit brighterCaffeine eye serum
Use this twice daily in an attempt to reduce my permanent puffy eye bags. I never think it is doing that much until I stop using it for a few days and they are worse. Despite thinking it's not that effective it must be doing something.Brightens
This really helps brighten the under eye areaDisappointed
This product came heavily recommended to me by my friends who had great results but after using consistently for months I see no differenceBit of a meh
Not disappointed but not overly impressed with this serum. For the price point I find it adequate for hydration however did not notice the caffeine plumping or de puffing effect as expected.Amazing!
Amazing! Absolutely love and live for this. My kids keep me up all night and this is an absolute saviour to make me not look like a walking zombie! Is an absolute essential in my house.Helps wake me up!
Brightens under eyes and also gives a little kick of energy in your eyes ☺️Meh
I’ve been using this for awhile too really test it but I feel like it hasn’t done much for my under eyes.Caffeine eye serum
I always seem to have puffy under eye bags, a lot of it I think is hereditary. This doesn't work as well as I'd hoped it would but then my eye bags seem to be worse when I don't use it so it must be doing something.Meh
Haven’t noticed much but the product dries up on the lid and makes it crunchyNot for me
Maybe I’m just not the person this product is made for. It feels quite drying on my skin which I don’t enjoy. I don’t have overly puffy eyes anyway but I haven’t noticed any difference in my dark circles. I’ve been using it consistently but am about to give up on this one.Caffeine eye serum
I have puffy eye bags which never go away, this has helped slighly but not as much as I want it to. Absorbs easily under the eye area.Couldn't see any difference
This is one of the few products from The Ordinary that misses the mark for me. I couldn't see any effects or improvement from this solution, other than to slightly irritate my eyes.Effective
I use this every morning for slight puffiness and I’ve always been happy with the resultsNot my fav
I was excited to try this, but it did not help my eye area unfortunately.Oh Dear
It’s the only product I’ve ever thrown out! I felt like me under eyes were burning and left me with dry patches that looked horrible, I love a lot of The Ordinary’s products but this just isn’t one of themInstant pick me up!
I honestly notice a difference immediately after use! Love it!Great for depuffing
Great for de- puffing if used overnight. But it can also dehydrate the skin. This was fixed for me by using a hydrating eye cream during the day.Not the best
It dehydrated my under eye even though I also used an under eye cream. Did nothing for my dark circles or fine lines.Seems to be working
Bought this for my partner and they feel that it's made a good difference. Feels nice and light.Not so sure
This feels nice but I’m not sure that it actually does much for me. Purchased it because TikTok influenced me 😭No difference for me
I have puffy under eyes sometimes. I use this under my eyes at night and in the morning. TBH have not noticed any differenceAmazing product
I had been using the revolution caffeine spray for a while and wanted to try something a bit stronger. I love the consistency and how well it absorbs will definitely keep using thisGreat for tired eyes
I use mornings and nights - wouldn’t be without it and it lasts such a long time.Good eye serum
I liked this eye serum a lot! It really helped to de puff my under eyes. It did take a little while to see the results, but so worth it. I also think It might have helped with my dark circles.Noticed a difference in my under eyes!
I’ve always struggled with darkness under my eyes and this really helps to brighten them. I use morning and night and noticed the biggest differenceToo oily
I found that this product went for dry and crusty around the bottle after a short time and I did not see any difference with using it either.No dramatic difference
This product has probably made a very slight difference to my circles. Consider the price for an eye solution, I would not expect to much of a difference.Beautiful product
The eye area needs special care and this is a first product containing caffeine I tried. The texture is light, there is no scent, this serum absorbs into the skin quite quickly. I'm using it for couple of months now, there is a slight improvement in the fine lines appearance.Alright
Works okay but definitely not life changing. Worth spending a little more on a specialised eye cream to get real resultsNot bad, not amazing
I've been using this daily under my eyes for about a month now. It's not bad, but it's not amazing. It does firm up the skin under my eyes a little, but it doesn't seem to do anything for my dark circles. I get the best results when I use it with a heavy moisturiser on my undereyes. Good value given the size of the product. You only need a small amount and it has a light, serum-like consistency.not sure
not sure how i feel about it, smells like oranges, but it doesnt really do anything for my skin/under eyesHappy enough but probably wouldn't repurchase
I like this but probably don't love it enough. Pro - huuuge amount given it's for the eyes, it will last ages. Con - I know The ordinary uses a fairly standard packaging range to keep the price low but I would be more likely to get this again if it came in a 10 or 15ml option. Pro - lovely gel-serum texture, easy to apply and feels nice and hydrating on the skin. No reaction from my sensitive skin...Read MoreDoesn't do much
I appreciate the lower price point, but it doesn't seem to do much for my eye bags or puffiness, even after almost a whole bottle of trial. Perhaps this is not for me.Fine but no miracles
I didn't find this product did anything at all. It felt fine on the skin at night time, but I can't say I noticed any difference in appearance after a few weeks of use. It's possible I just need to stick with it, but this isn't a product I've run away raving about. For the price point it could be worth trying for you, but I don't think anyone should expect to see huge results.does it actually work?
like genuinely, does this thing actually work? i use it and i havent seen a difference, wouldnt repurchase.Not good not bad
I really wanted to like this product due to the price point but it was just okay. It has given me milia around my eyes and I can't say I've seen a noticeable difference in my dark circles.Temporary improvement to eye circles at best
Have used it daily for over 6 months. I occasionally see minor improvement to my eye circles but only temporarily, they haven't changed much overall. Lasts a long time since you only need to apply a drop for both eye areas. Did not irritate my skin. Won't hurt to try this product if you're curious due to its cheap price but I wouldn't get my hopes up.Didn't do much
Started using to brightening my eyes but I felt it did not do much to my under eye area. Didn't irritate my skin though, so if you're sensitive then this will be fine.Caffeine eye serum
Have tried lots of The Ordinary products which I have been impressed with and wanted to try this as I suffer with chronic ( I think hereditary) puffy under eye bags. I've used this twice a day for some time and unfortunately haven't seen any real reduction in my puffy eye bags. They do seem to be a bit worse when I don't use it though so it must be doing something? Probably more effective if you...Read MoreYour eyes will thank you
Love the price point and really helps reduce the bags under your eyes. Have been using for nearly a year and is a must in my morning routinedoesnt do much
it doesnt really do anything and leaves a sticky feeling under your eyes for a minute. its not bad but ive had it for about 6 months and there is not rlly any difference.Best for dark circles
Reduces dark circles and the puffiness around the eyesA little goes a long way
I've always suffered from dark circles under my eyes. I tried out this caffeine product and it does work temporarily. A little serum goes a long way, there is a decent amount in a bottle. Only issue is I have sensitive skin on my eyes and it has caused some irritation.Works well
This serum does help for puffiness but as the description says dont expect it to work wonders for dark circles. Try it out for the price theres nothing to lose really.Good

Love this product. I add a drop under each eye morning and night. I am 46 and have definitely noticed a difference to dark circles in the positiveits good
its pretty okay and you only need a little bitCaused a skin reaction
Unfortunately this did not agree with my skin. I don't have sensitive skin and I did spot test, but it caused blotchy, red spots after a few days of application. If you don't get this reaction, make sure you apply moisturiser or an eye cream over the top as it is quite drying. I was super keen for this to work! :( Unsure if I would recommend as I didn't continue using long enough to see an effect.Nice for puffy eyes
I use this most morning,s especially when I am up super early, it helps to soothe the puffy eyes and look awake!! Also very affordableNot convinced
Admittedly I have not used this consistently, which is likely why I have not seen any results. It was also a bit sticky for my liking and I did not feel like it dried down nicelyGood under eye treatment
This is the first under eye serum I have tried, usually would go for cream but I am finding it great. The serum means you can really gently spread it - great for a sensitive area of skin and it feels super nourishing!Not sure
I didn't notice any difference when using this for a while. On the plus side, I'm often quite sensitive around the eyes and this serum didn't irritate me at all.Useful
definitely be buying another bottleEyes feel much brighter
This eye serum generally made a difference to my overall eye appearance. i found it really brightened my eyes nicely and reduced the puffiness around my eyes a lot. will definitely be buying another bottle.Use at night
I thought this did nothing but I was using it during the day. Turns out it's effective for reducing puffiness when I use it at night. But definitely needed to use a moisturising eye cream during the day as this can be a bit drying. Lasts for ages so it's super good value & I'll buy again once I run out of my current backlog.No effect
does not seem too effectiveNo
This was one of the first products I purchased when I started my skincare journey. tbh i dont think it did anything, only the thought that i was doing something/taking care of myself made me feel good.Nice
Definitely nice when I see some results but I could also do without it in my skincare routine.Nice
Definitely nice when I see some resultsCoffee for your face, anyone?
My 1/3 life crisis has been temporarily suspended thanks to this hit of caffeine on my face every morning. As a 30-something year old male new to the skin care game I would wake up looking more tired than I felt. Now I add this liquid gold to my moisturiser and I can feel my skin waking up and my face looks livelier. 10/10 would recommend a coffee for your face.Great
I see some resultsNice
Definitely nice when I see some resultsOk product
Ok product but did not make much of a difference.Work
depuff my eyesAmazing
I love it as I can see it working on my dark eyes and puffinessNot bad
Helps with puffiness but nothing else, inexpensive so I keep buying.Good for puffiness
Light texture and working on puffiness.Love it
This is the third time i buy it again, amazingwon't buy again
I don't see any difference to my eyes. They said it was supposed to be calming and soothing but I felt stingy reaction under my eyes and saw a bit of redness to it. Got my dad to use this as he has baggy eyes, but also did not work for him. I will definitely return this as it doesn't work for me.Did nothing for me
I thought this would help or do something but it did nothing at all.Waste of money
This serum did absolutely nothing, and it also dried up around the bottle and was very unpleasant. Used around a quarter of the bottle, have since thrown the rest in the bin.Just a feel good serum
Just a feel good serum, does nothing much to your eye lids.. least favourite of all ordinary serum. Lately have been using it on my eyebrows to make them thicker.Did nothing but make a mess
I hated this. It didn't depuff my eyes or do anything about the fine lines around them. The bottle developed a crusty layer. It was thick and unpleasant to apply and was generally a waste of time.Long time favorite
This has been a constant in my morning routine for a while. Great!Baggy Eye
This I use every day morning and night. I love it as I can see it working on my dark eyes and puffinessGood for eye bags!
I got this a week ago for my puffy eye bags and so far it's been pretty decent.My Favourite Serum!
As someone with inherited naturally dark under eyes, this has reduced the appearance of the natural dark circles and the morning puffiness I often experience. This is the one serum I cannot go without!Nice for under the eyes
Nice for puffinessDidn't work at all
In fact, it had the opposite effect. I've noticed that after a couple of weeks using this serum everyday my dark circles were way more visible...Even friends mentioned that I looked tired. After a bit of research I found many girls stating the same so I stopped using it and now after a month my dark circles are not that bad any longer! Which is a relief because I was afraid the damage would be pe...Read MoreWill probably repurchase for the sake of it
I got this because I hear a lot of skincare gurus on the internet talk about it so I gave it a shot. It feels really nice and cooling and I feel like I’m pampering my under eyes but I don’t think it makes that much of a difference. But it’s cheap so there’s that.Good, but wouldn’t miss it...
I use this in the morning before work and I believe it does reduce my puffiness to some extent. I often think maybe it’s a placebo effect! I still use it, but I wouldn’t miss it.Excellent Product!!
really good for under eye pigmentHarsh for dry skin
I have quite dry skin and this product was quite harsh especially in winter.Quite effective
I really like the product I can feel it help immediately. I love it for morning puffy eyes!♡
