Many global cosmetic brands create face creams based on it, protecting the skin from environmental aggression, increasing its elasticity and smoothness.

Application for the skin of the face and around the eyes
Caffeine activates blood circulation and is used to improve the color and appearance of the skin, has a drainage and strengthening effect, improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin. That is why caffeine is often added to cosmetics around the eyes in order to reduce congestion, that is, to get rid of dark circles and "bags" under the eyes.
