If you thought caffeine was your saviour before, just wait till you add it to your skin regime. Skincare manufacturers are now using caffeine in different products that are formulated to diminish the signs of aging around your eyes as well as perk up your peepers. It offers a brightness to both your lashes and skin because the caffeine increases circulation and erases tiredness and puffiness. These caffeine eye creams are a great way to wake up your skincare regimen. —Jennifer Cox
