That is probably why coffee it's still one of the most popular drinks all over the world, with millions of fans and professionals looking for the best way to work with it or prepare it, preserving as many benefits as possible.

Now, delicious drink aside, let’s talk about the benefits of caffeine in skincare.

What is Caffeine?

Caffeine is a natural compound commonly found in tea leaves, coffee beans, cacao, and many other plants. Historically, it has been used to stimulate the central nervous system, helping people stay alert, resist drowsiness, and combat feelings of fatigue. 

How Does Caffeine Work in the skin? 

Caffeine, when applied topically, offers several benefits for the skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause premature aging. Caffeine also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in reducing redness and puffiness, especially around the eyes.

One of the key ways caffeine works on the skin is by constricting blood vessels. This vasoconstrictive action helps reduce swelling and can temporarily tighten and firm the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. Additionally, caffeine can enhance the effectiveness of other skincare ingredients by improving their penetration into the skin.

Moreover, caffeine's ability to stimulate blood flow can improve circulation, which helps deliver essential nutrients to the skin and promotes a healthy, radiant complexion. 

And how all those benefits of caffeine can help me to reduce puffy eyes? 

Caffeine offers several notable benefits for the delicate skin around the eyes, one of its primary advantages is its ability to reduce puffiness and under-eye bags. Let’s see why:

- Contains vasoconstrictive properties: This means, it has the ability to narrow blood vessels, helping to reduce puffiness, making your skin look more refreshed. By narrowing the blood vessels, caffeine can also help reduce dark circles under the eyes.

- Improves blood circulation: Caffeine is perfect to reactivate the blood microcirculation of the eye area, allowing that such fine and delicate skin retains its natural tone. This also enhances the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin around the eyes, promoting a healthier and more radiant look. 

• Anti-inflammatory properties: Helps to soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation around the eyes. Its antioxidant nature protects the skin from free radical damage, which can contribute to premature aging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
