Thanks for this brand recommendation JLF!  I have under eye lines as well so anything to help is appreciated.  I have never heard of this brand before and its so affordable!  I DO NOT have dark cirlces or puffiness under my eyes, actually the opposite, my under eye area is hallowed.  Should I avoid a product with caffine?

Caffeine creams won't cause your skin to shrink or dehydrate. If anything it helps improve circulation and that will help the overall appearance of your under-eyes.

@SilleeMee  Thank you for the info!  I thought that was what the caffeine did, actually de-puff the fluid from the under eye area!

@MrsCat21 You're welcome!  It looks like you have your answer.  It was actually @SilleeMee who first mentioned the brand here in the forum. I've been happy with a couple of things from The Ordinary, but after the sale of the company and perhaps the chance of them changing formulas, the way a lot of companies do when that happens, I decided to look elsewhere. I especially like that I can get them on Amazon subscriptions so I never run out.  DH & I still use The Ordinary Hair Peptides - haven't found a replacement for that yet.

Yes, that's what caffeine does. But if there's nothing there to de-puff (fluid) then it just helps the circulation. Sunken eyes don't usually have much fluid in that area. It's mostly skin and the caffeine will improve circulation to the skin.

I use Cetaphil eye cream in the morning only under my make-up.  It is a nice moisturizer.

At night I am using Dr. Brandt DNA eye cream. 

My biggest issues are under eye dryness and dark circles.  With the right moisturizer, my circles seem a little better, but only slightly.
