Ingredient Spotlight: Caffeine for Soothing, Brightening Eye Care

Summary: Caffeine is featured in our Dark Circle Eraser Lidstick and limited edition Festive Soothing Coconut Balm. It helps reduce puffiness and minimize the appearance of dark circles by gently constricting surface blood vessels.

Caffeine is a well-known ingredient in skincare, and for good reason. When applied topically, it can help refresh and soothe the delicate skin around the eyes, which is often the first area to show signs of tiredness.

One of its most recognized benefits is reducing puffiness. Puffiness can occur when fluid builds up under the thin skin around the eyes. Caffeine works by gently constricting small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. This process helps limit fluid retention and encourages a smoother, more rested appearance. For many, this means eyes look less swollen and feel more comfortable throughout the day.

Caffeine can also help minimize the appearance of dark circles caused by visible blood vessels. Because the skin under the eyes is naturally thin, blood vessels can sometimes show through, creating a shadowed look. By narrowing these vessels, caffeine makes them less noticeable, which can brighten the under-eye area. While these effects are temporary, they provide a comforting boost for tired eyes and can be a helpful part of a daily routine.
