grace & stella Retinol and Caffeine Under Eye Serum

Overview

Packed into a 15 milliliter tube, grace & stella's serum stacks caffeine, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol and squalane to target dark spots, puffiness and wrinkles in one formula.

The attribute field lists the item form as cream even though it is marketed as a serum, so it likely sits somewhere between the two textures. The small 15 ml size and the puffiness-focused ingredient mix, caffeine plus retinol, point toward a concentrated, targeted-use product rather than an all-over daily moisturizer.

• Multi-active formula (caffeine, HA, niacinamide, retinol, squalane)
• Addresses dark spots, puffiness and wrinkles
• 15 milliliter size
• Unscented, vegan, cruelty free

Who it's for

Fits buyers looking for a multi-active formula that addresses dark spots, puffiness and wrinkles together, and who prefer fragrance-free, vegan, paraben-free formulations. The 15 ml size makes it better suited to targeted spots than full-face daily use.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

With retinol and caffeine in the same formula, the product leans toward addressing puffiness and fine lines together, though how it performs will depend on how the skin tolerates retinol, which is not always suited to first-time users without easing in gradually.
