Caffeine: The New Cucumber? Doctors Dermatologic Formula Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate

Disclosure: Mom Central received Doctors Dermatologic Formula product in order to facilitate our review. All opinions are our own.

Whether in our 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, puffy eyes (aka “bags”) do not discriminate. Some of the thinnest skin on our body, our delicate under-eye area also endures abuse: from makeup application and removal, to rubbing our eyes due to allergies or irritation. As a result, the skin around our eyes can appear pouchy or puffy, belying our age, or how much sleep we got the night before.

For years, home solutions like applying cold cucumber slices, chilled damp tea bags, or refrigerated metal spoons to the skin under our eyes, have reigned supreme.

Until now.

The skincare and dermatological communities have collectively recognized the effectiveness of caffeine in the reduction of the appearance of puffy eyes, and “bags”. As a result, the beauty industry focused their attention on this widespread issue, with companies releasing products containing caffeine into the markets.

Because of this breakthrough in skincare technology, we were excited to test out Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate. Formulated with Turmeric Complex, with glycerin and caffeine, this under-eye cream promises to hydrate and firm the delicate area below the eye and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles.

We used the product daily over a period of a few weeks, and remark that the area feels soft and hydrated, and wrinkles appear less apparent. Perhaps with long-term use we will see a reduction in the appearance of puffiness. To try it out for yourself, purchase DDF Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate on the brand’s web site, for $88.
