New Moms Look “Well Rested” Thanks to This Depuffing $9 Caffeine Eye Serum

TBH, I’ll do anything to look like I slept for eight hours besides actually sleeping for eight hours. So, I’m always on the lookout for brightening and firming eye treatments to compensate for my night owl habits and lack of real shut eye. The latest gem I’m snagging? The Ordinary’s TBH, I’ll do anything to look like I slept for eight hours besides that’s just $9 on Amazon (a.k.a. less than my lunch).   

As its name suggests, the skin care find Look of the Day is formulated with to reduce puffiness and firm up your under-eye area. TLDR; it awakens your complexion like a shot of espresso. That’s not all: The Ordinary treatment also contains Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCG), which directly targets dark circles to leave your skin looking bright and refreshed. Just apply a small amount of the serum to your eye contours post-cleansing both in the morning and at night. Et voilà! You’re “well-rested.”      

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

Beyond The Ordinary Caffeine Solution’s impressive ingredient lineup, its rave shopper reviews are reason enough to snag it. More than 30,000 people purchased the find in the past month alone, according to Amazon. Notably, new moms swear by the formula: One “incredibly sleep-deprived” mother said, “this stuff is like magic,” since it makes their eyes “look so much more awake.” They even receive compliments on “how well-rested” they look, despite having a five-week-old baby. A second new mom confirmed the serum “depuffs eyes after long nights” and is “as good as it gets”—especially for just $9. 

Another “tired mama” called the caffeine-packed serum "absolutely amazing” since it makes them look like they “got a good night’s sleep” even though they were “up all night” with their toddler. Someone else said they “cannot go a day” without using the “staple” product, considering it “brightens up” their eyes and “makes [them] look younger.” Still not sold? Take it from one fan who raved, “No matter how much rest I get or don’t get, this is a miracle-worker.” And with that, I’m running to checkout.
