“2-in-1 Cream Serum with 5% caffeine in solution, helps reduce bags and dark circles while moisturizing.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane.

Product summary
"laCabine - SERUM CREAM 5% CAFFEINE SOLUTION" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.80% - 1.20%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
