if you do not have bags or sagging, and are instead worried about thin skin and dark circles?
as i understand it, caffine stimulates fat loss. i love the eye cream from best bath, but it contains caffine, and i do not want to loose any of the already sparce fat padding under my eyes.
thank you for your input.

I know that caffeine is put in eye gels in particular to help de-puff the area though I don't think this works cumulatively over time, rather just after application. I wouldn't worry about using an eye cream/gel with caffeine in it but that's just me Smile

I don't believe that caffeine (especially the very small amount that actually ends up under your eyes) would promote fat/cellulite loss.

I should probably add that I don't believe that caffeine is *really* effective for fat/cellulite loss.

I believe that the caffeine will help take away some puffiness caused by fluid retention (not the fatty type of eye bags).

I thought caffein in eye cream was to help firm your skin up, and it has some cancer protection benefit.
