Caffeine invigorates us when we're dragging. But can it reduce eye puffiness, smooth facial wrinkles, lengthen eyelashes or reduce cellulite?
According to beauty product manufacturers, it can.
Caffeine emerged last year as the latest "magic ingredient" in topical skin care. Skin-care giants like Estee Lauder, Clinique and Garnier all have caffeinated products. From skin creams and powders to mascara and eye massages, cosmetics are brimming over with claims about the wondrous properties of caffeine they contain.
The true test is just trying the product to see if it works for you, Kingsley suggested. She advised to do your own research about the firm and product and ask a dermatologist.
It's a good idea, too, she said, to test a product in a small area, such as the inside of the forearm, for safety purposes.
Cosmetics makers don't have to submit data about injuries caused by their products. The Food and Drug Administration doesn't issue product recalls, although it can request them.
Consumers need to be cautious, Kingsley said, because cosmetics aren't subject to pre-market approval. "That's why lots of claims are made. You can't always believe what you read."
