Most people drink caffeine. We wear it;) Caffeine is one of those rare ingredients that works fast and plays well with others. The key is to use the right concentration and pair it with actives that boost its effect.
Here are 3 ways to put it to work right now (and a peek at how we go deeper inside the Serum Maker Eye Cream and Hair Growth Tonic courses with custom recipes.)
Coffee Compress for Tired Eyes
For mornings when you wake up looking like you slept in your mascara.
What you’ll need:
1 tbsp used coffee grounds (fine grind, lightly squeezed to remove excess liquid)
1 tsp cool green tea
1 tsp aloe vera gel
How to make it:
Mix into a thick paste, chill for 10 minutes, then apply gently under the eyes. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, wipe away with a cool, damp cloth.
💡 Pro Tip: This works for a quick pick-me-up because coffee contains caffeine and antioxidants that temporarily reduce puffiness.
But in the Serum Maker Eye Cream Course, we take it further with stable caffeine extract + peptides + hyaluronic acid for results you’ll actually see in the mirror (not just for the next hour.)
👉 Serum Maker Eye Cream Course – Finally get rid of dark circles and deeply hydrate the eye area with caffeine and actives that outperform most retail products.
