Oh the wonders of caffeine — we know them all too well on a Monday morning. That fresh cup of joe feels like everything you need when it’s five alarm snoozes later and you’re still dragging. And if you’ve been paying close attention, then you know that caffeine can also offer your skin the same pick-me-up. Yes — there are benefits of caffeine for skin, especially the skin under your eyes. This sensitive area can truly reap the rewards of caffeine’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. If your interest is now piqued but you’re not sure where to start, keep reading. We’ve got five eye creams formulated with caffeine to give your under-eye area just the TLC that it needs.

If your list of skin care concerns include under-eye woes such as crow’s feet, puffiness, dark circles, bags and crepiness, then this is the eye cream to add to your regimen. The night to day treatment is made with an exclusive complex that includes bitter orange, and also has vitamin E and caffeine to help recover the skin’s antioxidant reserves daily. It’s your self-care gateway to younger-looking skin.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives with 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid, 1% Caffeine Eye Serum

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Eye Cream
When it comes to anti-aging ingredients there are three powerhouses that always make the list — retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.

The bonus: It’s allergy tested, safe for contact lens wearers and layers well under makeup.
