I’m used to turning to coffee in the morning after I’ve had a late night — warm, delicious, caffeinated coffee.

When I learned about how caffeine applied topically can reduce inflammation (and therefore puffy, tired “raccoon eyes” with dark circles) I thought I would try making an oil infused with coffee to apply to my eyes.

After a bit of trial and error, I’ve come up with a couple different ways to make caffeine eye serum that really works to diminish dark circles and restore puffy eyes. It perks up tired eyes and smells like perfection. Most importantly, it’s all natural, with no toxic preservatives or icky ingredients. I included anti-aging ingredients in this eye serum, too – for good measure!

I love this serum, I have been using it nearly 3 weeks. Also I added jasmin oil, it smells sooo nice.
