The Best Caffeine Eye Creams Are Powerful Enough to Fade Dark Circles

Of all the eye-minded formulas on the shelf, the best caffeine eye creams have begun taking up more and more real estate. These eye creams use the active ingredient—which you might know best from your morning cup of coffee—since it also works to tighten and brighten the eye area in one fell swoop. “If your issue is dark circles due to blood vessels or mild puffiness in the undereye area, then topical caffeine may be helpful to temporarily constrict the blood vessels and decrease any excess fluid,” says Gloria Lin, MD , a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology in New York, NY, who notes that that makes it a good option for those looking for quick (albeit temporary) reduction in under-eye puffiness.
