    The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG most specifically addresses pigmented and vascular dark circles.

    Types of dark circles targeted:

    Vascular: Caffeine narrows the tiny under-eye vessels and reduces fluid pooling, which reduces the bluish-purple tint. The effect lasts a few hours after each use.

    Pigmented: Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside, Oxidized Glutathione and Lactic Acid help lighten brown, pigmented darkening under the eyes.
