Dermatologist Note
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor — it temporarily reduces puffiness by constricting blood vessels. The addition of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) from green tea provides antioxidant protection. Clinical evidence for long-term dark circle reduction is limited, but short-term depuffing is well documented.
Based on published clinical literature and dermatological research.
