The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

Description:

• Description. Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a water-based serum that reduces the look of puffiness and dark circles in the eye contour. The formula works by combining a high concentration of caffeine with a highly-purified epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside (EGCG).
• This light-textured formula contains an extremely high 5% concentration of caffeine, supplemented with highly-purified Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG). Independent studies have shown that topical use of each of caffeine and EGCG can help reduce looks of puffiness and of dark circles in the eye contour.
• Caffeine has a range of benefits for the skin around the eyes. It is a natural vasoconstrictor, meaning it can reduce inflammation and swelling by constricting blood vessels. This makes caffeine an excellent ingredient in eye creams and serums, as it can reduce the appearance of puffy eyes and dark circles.
• Daily intakes equal to or above 800 mg of EGCG per day increases the blood levels of transaminases, an indicator of liver damage ( 17 ). One group of researchers suggested a safe intake level of 338 mg of EGCG per day when ingested in solid supplemental form (18).
