Our eye area can be the first thing that reveals our fatigue and age (or that great party we had over the weekend). It is therefore important to give this area of our skin the same care as the rest of our face and body, if not more.

Among the most popular eye care products without debate is the "caffeine" eye serum - THE ORDINARY - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml. This special eye area treatment with an extremely high concentration of caffeine and EGCG (found in green tea) has been a must-have product in the morning skincare routine of many The Ordinary fans for years.

With the arrival of a new eye serum from The Ordinary, we spontaneously asked ourselves - is it time to say goodbye to the caffeine serum?

Which brings us to today's topic, and that is THE ORDINARY - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml vs. THE ORDINARY - Multi-Peptide Eye Serum 15ml!

Which of these serums should you choose? What do they do and who are they intended for?

You will find out in the following lines. Enjoy reading

THE ORDINARY - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml - a caffeine-filled eye serum could be compared to morning coffee. That's probably why we especially love it in our morning skincare routine. It aims mainly at "waking up" and overall refreshing the eye area and reducing morning puffiness, which we sometimes can't avoid.

Our tip: For an extra refreshing effect, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator.

As for age category - we recommend the serum even for young skincare lovers - we don't know about you, but we remember puffy morning eyes from our college days!

If you are therefore looking for an eye serum that targets exclusively puffiness, dark circles, then THE ORDINARY - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml is the right caffeinated one. This serum does not focus on removing signs of skin aging.

That's what THE ORDINARY Multi-Peptide Eye Serum - is for, as the name suggests, it's a peptide serum for the eye area. We would describe it as the older sister of the caffeine serum, who knows almost everything (and let's not forget NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate FECC, which we will definitely cover in the future).

The formulation is mixed really cleverly. It aims very precisely at almost all "ailments" of the eye area from dark circles to firming and improving (noticeably!) the elasticity of delicate skin around the eyes, puffiness and refinement of signs of skin aging in the eye area.

It's a water-based composition. The key active ingredients include especially:

Niacinamide (great for dark circles), caffeine (equally great for puffiness), Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 (reduces edema and strengthens delicate eye area skin, also gives it antioxidant protection)

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (which stimulates collagen production, firms the skin) and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamid Diacetate - its job is to support skin density and elasticity.

We recommend including peptide serum in your skincare routine around your 25th birthday, your eye area will definitely thank you.

Which eye serum do we recommend?

Both! THE ORDINARY - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml as part of your morning routine, or for younger age groups who are bothered by puffiness but aren't dealing with wrinkles yet - and THE ORDINARY Multi-Peptide Eye Serum as special eye care for the evening.
