Derived from coffee; rejuvenates, restores firmness, and protects skin. Caffeine
reduces the appearance of puffy eyes while firming and tightening the skin. It is
one of a group of alkaloids called methylxanthines. It is a substance with a high
tannin content, which constricts skin and can cause irritation. The theory is that
when caffeine is applied to skin it would have
the effect of "flushing away"
