Caffeine

Caffeine, derived from the coffee plant, is used in skincare as an antioxidant and a vasoconstricting agent. Its antioxidant properties help to protect against free radicals, neutralising them before they can cause damage to the skin cells. Its vasoconstricting abilities make it good for draining water retention from around the eye area, to reduce puff, and for reducing skin redness by constricting the capillaries whose dilation visually increases skin redness by passing blood closer to the skin’s surface.

What is Caffeine?

Caffeine is a natural stimulant that is commonly found in coffee, tea, and certain plants. It is used in skincare for its potential to energize, tighten, and reduce the appearance of puffiness.

What does Caffeine do?

Caffeine energizes the skin and helps reduce the appearance of fatigue or tiredness. It provides a temporary tightening effect, improving the appearance of sagging or loose skin. It may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or swelling, particularly around the eyes. It even offers potential antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin against free radicals and environmental stressors.
