@@nadiahasyiqin8591 use it PM it's better
Does it clear wrinkles under eyes
Does it hlp in dark circles
maria khan yea
This is the best review of any product I have ever seen ! Wow. I’m so subscribing to this channel
Yay! Thank you!😊
I've tried the product for over 5 months and I can tell 100% that it is better to use it in the evening, the next morning you see yourself in the mirror you can notice the improvement ( I did at least) but when you wanna apply makeup... It is not that good.
Lina SG hey♥️ is it good for under eye lines?
@Demi Norder I was told in store that one should apply a creme afterwards...the serum is just a supplement (and , like always, serum then creme) . A creme is to nourish/take care, this serum is to get rid of puffyness and/or dark circles and doesn't nourish.
I totally agree. In the night time before moisturizer is the best time to do apply this stuff!! It doesn’t sit so well under makeup, but that’s fine! There’s a lot of skincare products, such as alpha and beta hydroxy acids, that should only really be used at night. :) not a big issue at all!
Which cream shud be used after using this caffine solution
@@hardenzielig what kind of eye mosituzer should I put after, plz told me best brands
Please don’t let your dropper touch your face or fingers ever. You don’t want to contaminate your entire bottle with bacteria that is on your skin.
🦠 💉💉☣️
Wait I got this a few days ago and have used the dropper on my skin, and of course I will now stop, but do you think the product is still fine to use and not contaminated?😁
Do you mean that even if the face has been clenched and hands are washed and clean..? :)
That’s Golden Rule #1 whn using serums w/droppers….at least for me it is 😊
@@rha1978 even on cleansed skin….it’s not like you have to discard bottle if that happens, just try to remember to drop a few drops in palm of hand….better safe than sorry right
I personally use this in my nighttime routine since I am not a fan of the matte look it leaves, but I have used a few times in the am after a sleepless night (or night out 🥴lol) but that’s done upon waking. I only leave on for a short time, like while I have breakfast, then I do my AM facial routine, so it gets washed off. It most certainly makes a significant difference, which is why this product is a staple in my beauty routine….highly recommended 😊
😊
I used this for the first time today and OMG I couldn't believe the result! I will be using this daily! A must buy!!
Did you get results on the color of your dark circles? Mine are red, will this product help?
planning to buy this too, the dark around my eyes, i got it since I gave birth... I didnt get enough sleep and this quarantine we always watch movies on netflix 😂, so thinking of if il buy it or have to discipline myself. Love your vids ❤ Thank youuu 😘
I use that product for months. It works. My make up goes on top beautifully🙂.
I love how calm and friendly your voice is!🥺 and just got the product and i just applied it, i hope it works! :))
Thank you :) Hope you like it!
Did it work? Whats your impressions?
@@aleksakitanovic well I noticed that if u apply them at day u can see that really well so i started doing it only at night before i go sleep. And then in the next morning i see that it worked just a little but not that much, so i started to do it everynight after doing that i could see a little result coming but u have to do it everyday if u really want to see a result. I hope that helped and answered your question! 🙋🏻♀️
@@yyyoyz Was the difference noticeable? And how long were you using it for?
@@aleksakitanovic i was using it for i think two weeks and it was kinda noticeable yes (but if u really keep it up)
Thanks, you helped me alot
and you’re so gorgeous!♥️
Personally, I haven’t noticed any improvement with my dark circles, but didn’t expect to and didn’t purchase it for that. I did hope for improvement with my recently noticeable (in the a.m) puffy under eye bags. And they have most definitely gone away! At least now my concealer can conceal something (never did master that technique for masking under eye bags) now I don’t need to (for at least a while still)
For real changes in coloration to occur you have to give a product at least a month time. Your skin has to have one full renewal cycle while using the product before you can tell what results are possible. For other things, like retinoids, that defintely work, you might not see a difference before three to six months or sometimes a year in. So, i really think that ten days is not enough time to give a product. To even see changes in that little time is a definite plus for the product.
Hey, thanks for the comment! I am really curious! From where did you get this?
This is so detailed and informative!
Your eyebrows are brilliant totally natural
I've been using this product for a few days and I can definitely see a difference. I would take the product's advice and apply it in the morning and in the evening, because I'm sure they know what they're saying. The problem is that you apply the serum royally on your undereye area, making it hard to dry. I didn't hear you mention using an undereye cream either, which you are supposed to use after the serum has dried.
Use a pea sized drop per eye and use your ring finger to apply it around your eye area ( I also apply it on the eyelid ). Then let the serum dry. If there are spots that are still wet, just pat the serum until it's dry. Use undereye cream after and then concealer will not be a problem.
could u recommend some under eye creams?
@@brerday5063 I've been told eye creams are basically diluted moisturisers... So I don't know if I'd use eye creams..
Is it mandatory to apply eye cream after using this caffine solution.
Because i have oily skin.
Yeah
God, ur skin, u only need a bit of concealer and ur ready to go , I love ur skin 😍
Girl ure pretty !! 😍 ur eyes is so round like a doll
🙂Thank you 😀
I’m 66 and use this for night as well. I do suffer from puffiness and I really love prickly pear seed oil and my puffiness is no more🌵
Deborah Jiggens
What brand of prickly pear do you use???
I think that applying a moisturizer or oil on top helps the sticky feeling and the makeup aplication. The Ordinary rosehip oil on top of this serum feels very comfortable if applied lightly
Yeah, thanks for sharing this tip! Shortly after I shared my experience, I went ahead looking for an eye cream which I then applied afterwards and it helped a lot!😊
I love this product. All you need is one drop. For me I put one drop on my ring finger then rub it together with my other ring finger then apply.
Yes, you are right; the application in this video was way too much.
Great video! Really organized and helpfull review!
I’ve been using it for almost 4 months now. Before i go to sleep and after i wake up of course after i put moisturizer on, anyhow it’s GOLDEN I highly recommend it! my under-eye bags have really decreased
Glad that it works for you eye bags!😃Have you had problems with dry under eye area?
Melissa Van Dijk not really
You put the eyebag serum after mosturizer?
what kind of eyebags do you have? i rly want to try out this product but it mostly says its for dark/pigmented circles, mine dont have any discoloration but they are baggy n kinda puffy, so does it help for those kind?
Sara Đorđević yes it does it’s realy good for black circles and especially puffiness
Thanks for being honest!!!!!! 👍🏻
Thanks for the info!
I wish I would’ve seen this video before I ordered this but will apply it before bed. I don’t like your videos, I LOVE THEM! 😊 Thank you for your demonstrations and reviews 🌺
Because of the dryness? There is a solution. You need to apply a moisturizer or another eye cream on top :) I have a video on my channel about this but can't find it 😆 But just apply the caffeine solution wait for a little and apply a light moisturizer on top this tends to work very well 🙂 And thank you very much 🙂
I will do that! Thank you again 😊
Hello! Hope this gets noticed. I'm wondering specifically which one should I use first because idk much about skincare.
The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc or this The Ordinary Eye Caffeine Solution
Thanks, Melissa! You and your videos are amazing ✨✨✨✨
Hey, yes 😉
Those are 2 water based serums.
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!

Hi Melissa, firstly love the video btw, new subscriber here, so I just started getting into skincare products and I've been applying the Ordinary Caffeine Solution product for a few days now but I am kinda worried because lately (I don't think I felt it when I first started it) I feel a very light sort of warm sensation when I apply it. I watched the video and noticed that you said to apply at the area under my eyes but I've also been applying near-close my eyes. And I have also just started other skincares like serum and cream. Could that be the problem? Or am I allergic to it?
Hey :)
What else are you using when using the Ordinary Caffeine Solution? Also, do you use anything else around the eye area other than the Caffeine Solution? Is it only warm, or does it burn? Also, do you use it AM and PM?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I only use the Ordinary Caffeine Solution around my eyes and Its a sort of warm feeling rather than burning, (light burn at most I guess? I can't tell) I feel it more if I apply them on my eyelids though, so I stopped doing that. I do apply them twice a day after cleansing my face but lately I haven't been quite punctual when it comes to AM and PM 😅
@@mooncrescent7648 You may want to dilute it with an eye cream or your moisturiser and then apply it under the eyes. It may be a bit too strong for your skin :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I will definitely try your suggestion and maybe update afterwards. Thank you, once again, love your content and stay safe 🥰💖
My favorite part of my skin care routine!!
Omg I love your hair!!! 😍
This serum gave me worst dry patch so far in my lifetime on my left eye and it burned like flaky and red. I used this serum for 3 weeks and stopped it altogether now. My dry eye patch is healing now but makeup still looks bit dry on that patch.
Thank you so much this is very helpful!❤️❤️
Glad it was helpful!🥰
Love the blue hair and your videos!!💕
@melissa van Dijk Hi,o what through your review.. it's quite nice and thank u for the genuine feedback.. I loved it. Btw I have panda eyes,so far I tried everything but nothing worked out.. most of the ppl suggested me to go for a laser or derma filler trewrment.. but still I dont have any idea.. I am fair by my skin tone, so always my under eyes are highlighting.. so what can u suggest for me lv?
Thank u..
Nuzi..
Hey🥰well I'm not a doctor nor a dermatologist...but if you have dark circles because of hollowness or heritage, I don't think that you can do much against it..except as you already mentioned, with the fillers etc..
I’ve been using this for over a month now and I can see improvements with my dark circles,
But I follow it with my eye cream to be honest to keep the area more hydrated..
I also add the Hyaluronic acid to that area when I apply it to my face..
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hey :)
Great to hear that it has helped you with your dark circles! :)
Yes, using an eye cream after the Caffeine Solution is great since it can be a bit drying...
making sure the glass tip doesn't touch your skin is very important, once it does it'll be carrying bacteria
I have dark circles, which is more visible if I lack of sleep.. My mom has it too, but still I'm not convinced that it's hereditary since I had it when I started to develop sleeping problems a couple of years back. U think this product could be helpful?
Well, that's what it claims. However, I would use it in combination with some other products. I helped me brighten the skin a lot! See here: ua-cam.com/video/s3PX-PavgFo/v-deo.html So I would set up a routine with brightening products and use the Caffeine solution to support it.
Hey, Thank you so much for this review! I have a question, how many months does a bottle last?

Yes, this one works great under makeup. I am not sure about the dark circles, since I do not really suffer from them hylamide.deciem.com/product/subq-eyes-15ml
Hi Melissa, I recently started watching your vedios, I just wanted to know, should I apply after water based serums. I usually prefer evening.
It's also a water-based serum. However the Ordinary recommends to use it first after cleansing and/or toning 🙂
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you😍
Hi, I am new to your channel and to The Ordinary products.
I have a question: can I apply first the Caffeine solution then Argireline, finishing with Retinoid 2% emulsion to the eye and face areas in the evening and the same -minus the Retinoid in morning or this would be too much? My main concern is crows feet. Many thanks xx

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you 😊 xx
Thanks for the thorough review Melissa I saw this product but didn´t believe it to be that great, Dark circles are tricky to banish especially for those that have hereditary dark circles.
Thanks for watching 😊Yeah, you're right, but they do have some 'claims' on their website, when it's going to work and when it doesn't work, and if this isn't the case for dark circles then you will see improvements 😊
I used it for a while. Worked for the puffiness but nothing for bad dark circles that are hereditary.
@@bluekhan5591 Thanks for sharing as I don't have puffiness..well it did help you with one of the claims they say😊
This is soooo helpful 🖤
I think if you want a more efficient use of concealer after this product, you should mouisturize your skin after using the serum.
Hey! Yeah, thank you for mentioning it, I didn't know what to do at that time but I found a good eye cream from Neutrogena which helped a lot! 😊
Melissa Van Dijk I’m glad that you’ve found a solution ^_^
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial which eye cream did you find?
@@tasniahossain4369 I use the Neutrogena gel eye cream which is great! But I'm currently testing a different one because the texture is different and see how this one performs😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hi, I came accross your video because I want to try this serum. I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes and I have been using the G9 white in milk capsule eye cream (korean skin care) which works really good brightening the area and moisturize (though expensive, 25€ each, but lasted 5 months). The eyes look better and better, so I would recommend that for you. For my part, I will definetely try the caffeine solution and combining the two because I want to get rid of the dark circles totally. Thanks for your video!
When I used it I only applied it at night. After 6 mo my dark circles were noticibly better. Need to buy some more!
That's awesome! Have you tried the Hylamide SubQ Eyes?
6 MONTHS?!
@@asmakhursheed3054 😂
I'm having a marathon of your videos
😊😃
You have a really beautiful skin!
Thank you!
Very useful video i did use this product but i wonder if shall i use any eye moisturizer cream on top. Thank you
Yes, but I figured out that this was too drying I recommend using the Hylamide SubQ Eyes. And yes if you use the caffeine solution, it may be best to ass another cream on top since it can be very drying. Therefore I recommend the Hylamide SubQ Eyes.

Seems like a lovely product. I love the Ordinary`s apothecary style packaging. I was very sad to see the founder Brandon die so young. The news chalked it up to an accidental suicide. I wasn't very satisfied with the small amount of explaining the media did on what happened though. It felt like too little.
Liz Torres I’m so late but I didn’t know the founder of ordinary passed away may Brandon he Rest In Peace
When would you recommend to apply this product? Before moisturiser and twice per day?
Thank you
Yes, it's a water-based serum. It goes on before your moisturizer.

Hiii very helpful video! I did have a question. I have sunken eyes, what would you recommend other than getting fillers?
Honestly, it's best to get fillers 😞 If you want to try an eye serum go with the Hylamide SubQEyes, but I don't think it will work. It's best to visit a professional.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you for your honest opinion!!
You are absolutely lovely and such a delicate face. You don’t need much make up.
Thank you😅
I love how you covered all the questions.. Good job great video... Subscribe
Thank you🥰
Thank you for this great video; also the reviews were helpful and interesting. I'm old, overweight, haven't had a haircut for over a year now, and have never taken care of my skin. Now I start, too late to see much improvement I'm afraid. I have been using this serum for a month now on my mega bags. I like it despite some of the problems you mentioned. I do feel the stickiness. For me, it seems like it is working. I use it twice a day and don't apply foundation or any makeup right now (you have convinced me to use sun screen however). It actually looks like my under eyes are looking better. Those bags may never go away, but I am having fun with all of your videos and products you recommend.. Thank You....
Hey :)
Well, I'm happy to hear that you think that Caffeine Solution is working for you! If it should make your under-eyes dry, use an eye cream or your moisturiser on top :)
Some skin concerns can only improve to a certain degree since they may not be strong enough to improve by only applying topical skincare products. Sometimes seeing a doctor can help you to really treat your concern! :)
I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos, and thank you so much for watching :)
Thank you for your reply and suggestion of night cream. @@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Hello greeting to you Melissa 🥰 please tell me is this good for wrinkles ? Or only dark circles and puffiness? Thank you
Hello again 😃
It's only meant for dark circles and puffiness. Look for a Retinol eye cream that can help you with wrinkles. :)
great and informative video
Your skin looks way better here, than now. What products were you using for your am & pm skincare?
Hello Sia , it's just because of the camera, I am now using a higher resolution, and therefore you can see every little detail ;) The older videos are a bit "blurry." But during that time, I was probably using just The Ordinary products 😃
I have a comparison from July and I am still doing weekly pictures it has improved, but I do still get breakouts once a month, can't stop it 😉 You can find it here:

Hey Melissa, I love your videos. I have dark circle issues. My upper eyelid is darker than the under eye area. Now I want to use eye cream for dark circle. My skin type is dry. So if i use caffeine solution, is it makes my skin dry???
And can you suggest something for me?
Thanks dear❤️
I wouldn't use The Ordinary Caffeine Solution on your eyelids. Instead, look into NIODs eye serum or maybe a Vitamin C eye cream.
I bought it yesterday! I can’t wait to see the results cuz man my dark circles are really bad lowkey i look like a crack addict
Please, keep me up to date after a few months of use!😊
Please tell me how you bought it and from where
@@amiraalawy5877 theordinary.deciem.com/
Did its work for you ?
@@yasminezain402 i actually used it for three months and there were slight changes but honestly not so much because i constantly change my sleeping schedule all the time and i just go to sleep whenever i feel like it so i guess it might not work if u already have a f*cked up sleeping schedule.. i noticed about 20% of the darkness under my eyes gone but once u stop using it it will go back to the way it was. I stopped using it bc also it was uncomfortable it felt tacky , even after it dries it feels tight but also in a uncomfortable way😅 i would recommend for people who suffer from light to medium dark circles. I just have the advance level lmao
I did think you applied rather a lot, it spreads very easily. A tiny touch on the index finger is enough for both eyes, upper and lower lids. Also, a serum is meant to go under moisturiser. I can see why some people are confused about this, however, as when they first became popular, skin care companies called everything a serum in order to capitalise on the hype. I have applied this daily for a year and have never found that it affected my concealer in anything but a positive way. But then, i never powder concealer, as I'm 52 not 22 ! Powder is an evil substance designed to add a full decade to my face! It has to be 35C + before I'd even look at it.
So do we put this then put moisturizer rigjt on top after?
TyakGt I do. You may not need it if your skin is normal or oily. I try not to put too many layers on my eyes as that makes the sunscreen slide around and go in my eyes.
@@TyakGt Yes
Pencilfriend Paperscribbler hi I use the niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid. do I put the caffeine before or after applying those solutions I’ve mentioned.
rfiel25 I would say the caffeine serum should go last as it has an oilier consistency, but be careful about using too many active ingredients near the eyes. apart from anything else, if there is too much product there, it slides into the eyes.
Hi, i got dark circles and hallow under eye due to lack of sleep. Will the product help me lessen those?
Well they do mention on their website that it won't help if the darkness is because of the hallow from the eye as it then is a ''natural'' shadow if this is your case then it won't help and if it's due to lack of sleep then it can help🙂
It helped mine. I can get circles from being on my laptop for a long time
Does this work for people who sleep late and started to get dark circles?
Well...why do you sleep late? If you go to bed earlier, you get enough sleep.
I’ve been using this for a week or two, and it’s definitely reduced the puffiness, but my skin looks strange. Oddly dull and I can see more texture. I’ve heard this is actually dryness... I’m not used to it because my face is so oily. Any recommendations for an inexpensive moisturizer that’s safe around the eyes?
Yes, the Caffeine Solution can be drying. I recommend using an eye cream, like the one from Cerave or even Cerave's Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which you can also use 'like' an eye cream! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial should I wear a moisturizer on the top of the caffeine solution or not?
@@123abc-b4r You can if your skin feels a bit dry afterwards or if you have in general already dry skin, but you do not have to.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial can we use caffeine solution after hyaluronic acid under eyes????
@@maryamzafar1141 yes, you can :)
Hello, I have a question! After applying this serum, can you use a normal moisturizer or do you need to use an eye cream specifically? Thank you for your helpful reviews btw.
You can use a normal moisturizer, but you also can add another eye cream on top. It's up to you.
I’m pretty new to skincare and I’m not sure if I can use some of the ordinary serums together.
I’m planning to use the niacinamide serum, the salicylic acid serum and the caffeine serum. Would this be ok in a skincare routine along with the ordinary peel solution once a week?
Yes, you can use those serums in one routine however it may be best to watch the following video so that you know how to layer those products properly ;)

Hello Erandi,
I tried The Inkey List, La Roche Posay, The Ordinary, CeraVe, Avene, Neutrogena, but I was never really consistent in applying it. I ended up using no eye cream at all. It's very inconvenient, and I always forget to apply it. Therefore I haven't done any specific videos on it 😜
Which one did you try? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi, I’ve tried Clinique all about eyes, but this was long time back( 12yrs)
Now my skin needs a eye cream for pigmentation, starting few wrinkles as well.🙁
Now using pep-start by Clinique. Not that much of a difference, stil the dark color is there. I’m not that regular with this, not like those days!
Out of the ones you tried, which is good for pigmentation?
@@erandinn8780 La Roche Posay's Redermic Retinol Eye Cream or the Inkey List Retinol Eye Cream for signs of aging and may help with dark circles as well, otherwise I recommend looking for a Vitamin C eye cream :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi, thanks. I’m going to try few til I find best one for me….🥰
Hi! If I use this at night, is it ok to put the solution first and then the retinol eye cream?
Yes, however, this may be very drying as this solution is already drying. So it may be best to add a moisturizer afterwards, but it may also depend on the retinol eye cream you are using; you need to test it. But just keep it in mind ;)
Love your nails!
Thank you ❤️🇦🇹

Hi! Just a quick question, yknow when we always cry and our eyes tend to get abit sore bc of crying and we'll get some puffiness right, what product would you recommend?
You do not necessarily need to use a skincare product if that's the case. I recommend sleeping a bit which usually should already help to calm it a bit😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Ahh thank you so much for replying💘
Nice review, I've ordered one for me. Let's see the results

How is it going
Hello Melissa I’d like to now if it is possible to apply right next to the Caffeine Solution The Ordinary Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid? I’m actually setting my skincare routine and I‘d like an expert review. Thanks!!

Apply it after your toner :)
I find it works great for puffiness. I don't wear makeup ;-) and the residue stickiness doesn't bother me...I find it goes away in about a half hour.
I use every night after i clean my face...yes it work....after i use oil with retinol for face...sorry for my english guys....Ordinary have realy great product

I just started using this product and i noticed that my skin under eyes become loose? what should I do now?
I think you have pilling see here:

do you out the eye serum before the face serum or after?
"In regards to order of application, if you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). That being said, it's recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing."
Have you found an eye serum you now like?
Not yet..but I've tried a few eye creams instead 😊
Hello from Canada!!
From pakistan
I read this works well with the argireline solution, which would I use first?
The caffeine takes longer to dry, and dries kind of sticky, so would the argireline water this down if I added if after?
I'm so confused, I'm new so these skin care routines
If you want to use both in the same routine, I recommend using the Argireline Solution first since the texture is thinner and sinks quickly into the skin and then use the Caffeine Solution on top. Or use one in the AM and the other one in the PM.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you and thank you very much for getting back to me! And so quickly ☺️ love your videos keep up the great work! X
Hi Melissa, this hair color suits you too❤
Thank you!😊
What if I'm using hyaluronic acid + B5, niacinamide + zinc, and 0.5% retinol? When would I apply this caffeine solution?
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
Hi, im using this within my evening skincare routine: Ordinary cleanser, This eye serum, the ordinary hyluronic acid and then ordinary moisturiserer. Is that a good skincare routine and most importanrtly do we leave the eye serum on for 5-10mins until i put the hyluronic acid on my face?
well it depends on your skin concerns ;)

Hey😊
Close! Use the Caffeine Solution directly after cleansing! - the rest of the routine is correct😊
I use all The Ordinary skin care, but If I wanted to add Peter Thomas Roth instant firm eye tightener, would I add this on before or after this product? Like cleanse, tone, then I usually use this caffeine drop - where would I add this tightener? Thank you. Brandi
Hello Brandi, Does it have a cream/lotion-like texture? If so, it goes after the Caffeine solution since it is a water-based serum.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial it does, and I will try it after. Thank you. I am learning so much from your videos & love The Ordinary line.
@@brandihoff6233 Okay,so yes :) And I am happy to help 🥰
I have really bad dark circles. I don’t suffer fro puffiness. Will it be able to remove those darkkkk brown dark circles?
Hey!
Sorry, I think that I'm the wrong person to ask since I do not suffer from 'dark circles' it's just a bit of discolouration towards the inner corner :)
I just bought this product. Should I put it together moisturizer after I applied the ordinary on my contour eyes?
If it feels dry, yes :)
