Caffeine (Cosmetic Grade) is a methylxanthine alkaloid used in skin care for its ability to reduce puffiness, inhibit phosphodiesterase activity, and promote lipolysis in fat cells. It is a key ingredient in eye creams targeting dark circles and puffiness, as well as anti-cellulite body treatments. Caffeine also functions as an antioxidant and UV filter booster in sun care products.
