| haven't tried it, but 1% concentration is usually a safe way to start with new actives. Just keep building up from there. Just think, if you can down an espresso or a machiatto, how bad can this get? |

Hi Bunny!
Around the eye area I would keep it at
a maximum of 1%. Other areas you can
certainly start at 1% and work your way up.
Have fun!

Does anyone know what is the best way to dissolve it? I would like to mix it with the eye gel or eye cream that I am currently using, so I need to know if it would mix well.
Thanks. |

| If distilled water doesn't work, try a few drops of vegetable glycerin. I find it is usually better to pre-dissolve a powder before lobbing it into a cream - this averts lumpy gritty creams. |

| Forgot to say, if you are pre-dissolving a physically miniscule amount of caffeine powder, it makes sense to add the cream to the dissolved caffeine, rather than the other way round i.e. plop the cream over the dissolved caffeine and then mix. That way you don't have to waste time scraping up every last bit of that .1% or 1% of the caffeine to plop into the cream. |

Nyonyakay,
Thank you very much.
Do you think that liquid Beta Glucans may work instead of distilled water? |

| I don't have the Oat BGs and don't know its component ingredients - you can try and tell me what happens! |

| I bought some eye cream last summer with caffeine in it. Don't remember the name other than it started with "Neo" something. It was over-priced but was an ok eye cream. |

| I think most of the eye creams that have come out in the last year or so have caffeine in them. |
