-Caffeine is a fantastic way to reduce puffiness and dark circles caused by a number of lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, travelling, diet, and high salt intake amongst others. However, dark circles and puffiness can be caused by a number of factors. If you are genetically pre-dispositioned to dark circles caused by pigmentation underneath the eye or puffiness under the eye caused by fat deposits, unfortunately caffeine serum is unlikely to help.
