In which products can we find caffeine?

Coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, kola nuts... caffeine is renowned as a psychoactive molecule that accelerates the functioning of the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, particularly useful for increasing energy levels and providing a boost upon waking. However, these benefits do not stop there, as it also brings numerous virtues in topical application.

• Antioxidant: it protects the skin against free radicals and thus aids in slowing down the skin ageingprocess. It therefore helps to delay the formation of premature wrinkles.

• Anti-inflammatory: it also aids in reducing the visible effects of inflammation (redness) and in soothing any other discomfort sensations that sensitive skin may experience.

• Draining, stimulating: it is particularly known for improving microcirculation of the blood, notably by tightening the capillaries and increasing blood flow, two circulatory properties that could decongest the area of the eye contour. As a result of its action, puffiness fades and dark circles are visibly reduced.

• Lipolytic: due to its small size, it is believed to "burn" accumulated fats by breaking down the triglycerides stored in adipocytes into free fatty acids, which are easier to eliminate. In other words, it helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Thanks to its numerous properties that it guarantees, caffeine has become a popular ingredient in the composition of skincare products. Whether it's for the skin of the face, body, or even for the hair, caffeine finds its place in various types of care.

• Anti-cellulite treatments.

  Employed for its lipolytic action mechanism in emulsion or gel-based cosmetics, it is widely used to locally combat cellulite. Buttocks, hips, abdomen... it aids in eliminating dimples and reducing the bumpy orange peel appearance by stimulating the breakdown of fats stored in adipocytes.

• Eye contour care.

  By acting on the walls of the blood vessels, caffeine has the ability to drain water with regular use, particularly around the eye contour where it tends to accumulate. This is a solution that can be proposed to reduce puffiness. Furthermore, it helps to stimulate blood circulation and thus restore radiance to the eye contour area by effectively diminishing the appearance of dark circles.

• Skincare to prevent skin ageing.

  With its antioxidant action, it helps to slow down the appearance of wrinkles. Creams, serums... skincare products containing caffeine will help to combat free radicals, thereby preserving the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

• Care to prevent excessive hair loss.

  By stimulating microcirculation of the blood, caffeine can even act on the scalp, at the level of the hair follicles. Whether in shampoo or hair serum, it helps to strengthen the hair fibre and slow down hair loss by extending the growth phases of the hair.
