They say the eyes are the window to your soul, but the area around your eyes can reveal a whole lot about you, too. The extra-delicate skin takes a heavy beating when you skip sleep or are majorly stressed. And while drinking coffee may make you feel more physically awake and yoga more relaxed, neither does much to stave off undereye bags or fine lines.
But what if a that harnesses the power of caffeine could erase dark circles in a few swipes a day? Tula's buzzy rose eye balm and its pretty pink tube has been taking Instagram by storm, and while not all pretty bottles do the hard work, this one is packed with a formula that means serious business.

Key wake-me-up ingredients in Tula's balm include the aforementioned caffeine to boost, tighten, and firm skin around the eyes while reducing the appearance of dark circles; apple and watermelon to hydrate and fill in lines; rosehip oil (a plant-based alternative to retinol) that's rich in vitamin C to protect the delicate area against free radicals; and rosewater to soften and tone.
Using it is as easy as swiping on lip balm. Simply apply it all around your eye after your moisturizer to instantly brighten and minimize dark circles. As an added plus, the Tula eye balm doubles as a highlighter: Use it on cheekbones, your nose, and your Cupid's bow to create that coveted glow.

Amazon shoppers have called it a "miracle product," with some even suggesting it's like a "magic eraser for dark circles." But the most persuasive reviews come from moms and healthcare workers — because it's well-known that neither gets much sleep.
"I was really skeptical about this product because I'm so picky with skin care, but it's been a game changer for my under eyes," wrote one customer. "[I'm a] night shift nurse and a mom and I have tried color correctors, concealers, and under eye creams, and this one really just helps to make my eyes glow and look much less tired."
Give the Tula rose eye balm a try to say bye to undereye baggage for good.
