Caffeine
INCI Name: caffeine
Because of its invigorating effect, caffeine is valued not only in food. Caffeine is used in some cosmetic products such as creams or shampoos. Caffeine has a dehydrating effect. In special anti-cellulite creams, the substance is used, for example, to activate an enzyme through the skin.
It is also used in creams for tightening the skin around the eyes. In addition, caffeine stimulates blood circulation, so the cells are especially well supplied with oxygen and nutrients. Other active ingredients also benefit from better blood circulation, as they can be more effective. The positive "stimulating" effect of caffeine can be detected in certain hair shampoos. This refers to stimulating the activity of hair follicle cells, which can help with hair loss.
