Caffeine

Caffeine is a naturally occurring compound found in the seeds, leaves and fruits of various plants, with coffee beans, tea leaves and cacao beans as some of the most well-known sources. It has a long history of use in beverages and has been cultivated and consumed for centuries in regions including Africa, Asia and South America.

Caffeine is generally well-tolerated on most skin, but it's recommended to conduct a patch test when using caffeine-infused products to check for any adverse reactions.

Reduces Puffiness

Topical application of caffeine can temporarily constrict blood vessels and help to reduce the appearance of puffiness and under-eye bags.

Diminishes Dark Circles

Caffeine's vasoconstrictive properties reduce blood flow to the under-eye area which may also help diminish the appearance of dark circles.

Soothes and Calms Skin

It has mild anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm irritated or red skin.

Improves Skin Texture

Caffeine's potential to improve blood circulation may contribute to a smoother, more even skin texture.

Protects against Environmental Damage

As an antioxidant, caffeine can help protect skin from free radical damage to create a healthier complexion over time.

Awakens Skin

When applied to skin, caffeine can create a temporary sensation of alertness and awakeness which makes it a popular ingredient in products like eye creams and morning skincare routines.
