Caffeine

Caffeine is used in topical skincare because it helps visibly energize and awaken the appearance of the skin while supporting the look of reduced puffiness and fatigue. As an antioxidant, it also helps defend against visible environmental stress and oxidative damage. It is commonly used around the eyes and in body products because it can help temporarily improve the appearance of swelling, fluid retention, and skin tightness. It is not about permanently changing the structure of the skin. It is about helping the skin appear more refreshed, revitalized, and supported in the moment and over time.
