The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Eye Serum
The Ordinary created a eye serum (water-based) with Caffeine and EGCG.
What is EGCG ? Let’s dive into it!
Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside is a stable form of EGCG, a powerful antioxidant found in green tea. It dissolves easily in water and is commonly used in skincare to help calm the skin, reduce irritation, and boost hydration.
How does it function in skincare?
Calming irritation, reducing redness, and protecting against environmental stress thanks to its antioxidant properties. It also helps keep the skin hydrated and can support a healthier, more balanced skin barrier.
Caffeine ?
Caffeine, how is it supposed to work together with EGCG?
Caffeine in skincare overall helps reduce puffiness, especially around the eyes, by temporarily tightening and energizing the skin. It also has antioxidant and soothing properties that can help protect the skin from environmental stress and reduce the appearance of redness or tired-looking skin.
Caffeine and EGCG work well together in skincare because they both have antioxidant and soothing benefits. Caffeine helps reduce puffiness and refresh tired-looking skin, while EGCG helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and protect the skin.
A serum containing both ingredients is generally considered safe for daily use and can be beneficial for most skin types, especially dull, sensitive, or tired-looking skin.
If dark circles and/or puffiness is something you’ve been struggling with, then this serum might be worth looking into.
Not forgetting that external factors also influence in your skin, such as: chronic stress, lack of sleep and allergies or even genetics, try to get a better understanding on what is the cause behind your skin condition for a full and more accurate treatment.
