What the gurus are saying

This serum targets dark circles and puffiness with peptides and caffeine, and most gurus praise how much it delivers for the price, reviewers love that a tiny amount goes a long way and it's hydrating enough for sensitive skin. The main split is the dropper bottle: some find it prone to tipping and spilling, while others appreciate the precision, though the serum's watery texture means it needs care in application to avoid running down the face. A few gurus note the price per ounce is steep for The Ordinary, and results can take time to notice, so patch testing and patience may help.

[...] It's nice and hydrating, it's super lightweight, and I think it's a great allrounder for people that are looking to kind of dip their toe into anti-aging for the under eye area. This is a nice affordable option to do that. It's small but it's mighty and you only need the tiniest amount."

"It's got some very very gentle exfoliators in here which are going to minimize the appearance of any milia that you have, but it's also suitable for sensitive skin. It's a great one-stop shop that I think would genuinely work for everybody. If your under eye is super super sensitive, make sure you patch test first, but I would recommend that everyone do that when they're introducing a new product. Other than that, I think this should be like a home run for anyone that tries it."

"This is the Multi-Peptide Eye Serum from The Ordinary and I literally just started using it this morning. I actually can't tell you too much about this product, but I've been excited to put this into my skincare routine. It has a gel type of texture but it's running, though there is a little bit of body to it which I think is pretty important if you're going to do an eye serum instead of an eye cream because you don't want it dripping all down your face."

"I found a peptide eye serum on a budget that I actually really like, this one by The Ordinary, the Multi-Peptide Eye Serum. It just comes in a little dropper bottle and it's a little bit viscous, so a little bit thicker of a serum, which is really good right under the eyes. My third ingredient that I recommend is a peptide like this one, really affordable. Between retinaldehyde, puchol, and peptides I would use them kind of in that order for anti-aging."

"This is 15ml, half the size of their regular 1oz bottles like the niacinamide serum or the hyaluronic acid serum, and it's 25 to 50 dollars for the same amount you'd get in other products. Granted, it is an advanced formula with ingredients tailored to the eye area, but it's still so hard for me to wrap my brain around 50 dollars an ounce for The Ordinary. Personally I don't think I'll repurchase it, even though I did enjoy it."

"I definitely appreciate an under eye brightening effect with it, but like other similar products, I find that you don't need that much of that product. [...] I gave it a good try before reviewing it and I've continued to use it off and on trying to make my way through it. [...] I see benefit, I see improvement, but to me it's the same as The Ordinary Caffeine Plus EGCG. I don't appreciate much of a difference."

"However, I feel like we have to put a lot of faith in all these other peptides. [...] In my opinion it doesn't offer much, at least in terms of performance and results that I am seeing. [...] The results I'm seeing are no different than when I use their Caffeine Plus EGCG serum. This particular serum is more expensive, and they justify the price point [...] by saying they've put these peptides in at a higher concentration and therefore [...] it's more costly to formulate."

MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE & SHOPPING FOR SKINCARE AT MARSHALLS
"I really think this product, I [...] do feel I see a subtle under eye brightening effect which I attribute to the caffeine. I do kind of see a subtle under eye depuffing effect.

"I've also been trying to make my way through the Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum that I reviewed for y'all and that's fine but it ends up transferring into my eyes especially when I'm in the shower and I think too like the heat and the humidity may have something to do with that but it does cause my eyes to get a little like itchy watery while I'm in there. [...] It makes my skin soft but it dries out my lips."

"The product is stickier than the original eye serum, and it leaves my under eye feeling tacky even after moisturizer. For the price—it's basically forty dollars per ounce when you do the math on the half-ounce bottle—this is just an overpriced moisturizer.

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Source: NIH, National Library of Medicine

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
