Caffeine Caffeine
Caffeine in cosmetics is a highly active ingredient with a broad spectrum of action — mainly stimulating microcirculation and providing a draining effect. Thanks to its lipolytic and vasoconstrictive properties, it reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes and helps combat cellulite and excess fatty tissue. It contains strong antioxidants that neutralise free radicals and protect the skin against photoageing and UV-induced DNA damage. It effectively stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen, thereby improving skin firmness and tone. Ideal in eye products, anti-cellulite formulas and firming preparations for the body and face.
STIMULATION3% caffeine: a 49% reduction in under-eye bags in 8 weeks (corneometer + image analysis, n=24, Herman & Herman 2013).
Inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE) — the enzyme that breaks down cAMP in adipocytes — which activates lipolysis. Its vasoconstrictive action through antagonism of adenosine A2A receptors reduces puffiness.
