UNDER-EYE SERUM FOR DARK CIRCLES, PUFFINESS AND TIRED-LOOKING EYES, 20 ML
For dark circles; tired-looking eyes; the under-eye area, AM and PM
New in the rangeComplete the routine
CAF 5 is the ARISH DERMA under-eye serum. Caffeine 5% and peptide 1% are the two actives printed on the bottle, with niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, chamomile and aloe vera in support. A 20 mL dropper, morning and night.
FOR THE UNDER-EYE AREA, WHERE SKIN IS THINNEST
The skin under the eye is thin and shows fatigue first: puffiness in the morning, shadows by evening. Caffeine and peptides are the two ingredients most eye serums are built on; this one prints its percentages.
Caffeine is known for a tightening, de-puffing feel on skin, which is why it anchors most eye products. Five percent is the figure printed on the bottle.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids known for supporting the look of firmer, smoother skin. One percent is printed on the bottle.
Niacinamide is known for its role in even-looking tone and barrier comfort, a natural fit for the shadowed under-eye area.
A humectant that holds water at the surface, so fine dryness lines look softer while skin is hydrated.
Three botanicals known for a soothing feel, chosen for the thin skin under the eye.
Made to be tapped with fingertips, morning and night, and to sit under moisturiser or sunscreen.
TWO PRINTED ACTIVES · FIVE SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS
The bottle prints caffeine 5% and peptide 1%; the listing gives the full ingredient list. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for, without pretending that an ingredient's reputation and a measured result on this bottle are the same thing.
Caffeine is the active most eye serums are built on, known for a tightening, de-puffing feel and a role in the look of fresher under-eyes. Five percent is printed on the bottle. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result on this serum.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids used in skincare for supporting the look of firmness and smoothness. One percent is printed on the bottle.
Niacinamide is a well-studied vitamin known for its role in barrier comfort and even-looking tone. It is a supporting ingredient here; no percentage is printed.
Sodium hyaluronate holds water at the skin surface, which softens the look of fine dryness lines under the eye.
Chamomile is known for a calming, soothing feel on skin, which is why it is common in products for the eye area.
Aloe vera is known for its water-rich, cooling feel. It is the hydrating botanical in this serum.
Centella is known in Korean and Ayurvedic skincare for a soothing, skin-comforting character. The listing names it with allantoin in support.
WHAT AN EYE SERUM CAN AND CANNOT DO
Shadows under the eye come from several places: thin skin showing the vessels beneath, pigment, puffiness that casts its own shadow, and plain tiredness. A topical serum works on the surface of that list, which is why the honest aim is eyes that look fresher, not a cure.
Caffeine is known for a tightening, de-puffing feel; peptides for supporting the look of firmness. This page describes those reputations and the percentages printed on the bottle; it claims no measured result.
THE MORNING AND NIGHT TAP
The listing directs a small amount around the under-eye area, tapped gently with fingertips until absorbed, morning and night. Patch test before first use and keep it out of the eyes.
Wash and pat dry. The eye serum goes on before moisturiser.
Dot a small amount along the under-eye bone and tap gently with the ring finger until absorbed. Keep it out of the eye itself.
Follow with moisturiser, and with sunscreen in the morning. Use as the listing directs; patch test before first use.

THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEIR FIRST DROPPER
This page does not claim a measured result. Caffeine and peptides are known for fresher-looking under-eyes; shadows caused by pigment, genetics or lack of sleep have causes a serum does not reach.
A small amount around the under-eye area, tapped gently with fingertips until absorbed, morning and night, per the listing.
Apply the eye serum first and keep stronger actives away from the under-eye area. If in doubt, alternate mornings and evenings.
Aqua, glycerin, propanediol, caffeine, niacinamide, peptide complex, sodium hyaluronate, chamomile extract, aloe vera extract, xanthan gum, allantoin, centella asiatica extract, ethylhexylglycerin, phenoxyethanol and sodium benzoate, per the listing.
The listed ingredients include no added fragrance. The bottle does not print a fragrance-free claim, so this page does not either.
