The Caffeine 5% Eye Serum is meticulously formulated to address under-eye concerns by leveraging bioactive ingredients that work synergistically at the molecular level to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines while hydrating and firming the delicate eye area.

1. Caffeine (5%):Caffeine, a methylxanthine alkaloid, acts as a vasoconstrictor by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE). This inhibition leads to increased levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) within vascular smooth muscle cells, promoting vasoconstriction of capillaries under the eyes. Reduced blood flow diminishes fluid accumulation and extravasation of red blood cells, which contribute to puffiness and dark circles.antioxidant properties by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It can also stimulate lipolysis through the activation of hormone-sensitive lipase, potentially reducing adipocyte volume and decreasing the prominence of under-eye bags caused by fat deposits.
2. Hyaluronic Acid (2%):Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. Its polyanionic nature allows it to bind significant amounts of water, contributing to tissue hydration and volume. In the under-eye area, HA enhances skin turgor, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving elasticity.CD44 and RHAMM (Receptor for Hyaluronan-Mediated Motility), influencing cellular proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. By supporting the extracellular matrix (ECM), HA promotes skin repair and maintains structural integrity.
3. Peptides (2%):The serum includes bioactive peptides like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 mimics the amino acid sequence of collagen type I and can stimulate collagen synthesis by activating transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathways in dermal fibroblasts.interleukin-6 (IL-6). Together, these peptides enhance the skin's structural framework by increasing collagen and fibronectin production while reducing glycation-induced damage, leading to firmer and more elastic skin around the eyes.
4. Green Tea Extract (1%):Green Tea Extract is rich in polyphenolic catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes ROS and protects skin cells from UV-induced oxidative damage. It inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-2 and MMP-9, which are enzymes that degrade collagen and elastin in the ECM.nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. By inhibiting NF-κB activation, it reduces the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), thereby soothing the skin and reducing irritation.
5. Aloe Vera Extract (1%):Aloe Vera contains bioactive compounds such as acemannan (a polysaccharide), glycoproteins, and various vitamins and minerals. Acemannan enhances wound healing by stimulating fibroblast proliferation and increasing the synthesis of Type I collagen and hyaluronic acid.cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins like PGE2. Its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects help calm the skin, while its mucopolysaccharides provide hydration by forming a protective barrier that reduces TEWL.
6. Glycerin (3%):Glycerin is a trihydroxy alcohol that functions as a humectant by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. It enhances hydration by facilitating water transport through aquaporin-3 (AQP3) channels in keratinocyte membranes. By increasing the water content of the stratum corneum, glycerin improves skin elasticity and resilience.

This advanced formulation leverages the biochemical properties of its ingredients to reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles, improve skin firmness, and provide intense hydration and antioxidant protection. The synergistic action results in a refreshed and youthful appearance of the delicate eye area.
