abrasive antioxidant skin-conditioning exfoliating anti-inflammatory anti-cellulite moisturizing circulation-boosting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient leverages its natural composition of caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and flavonoids. As a finely milled powder, it provides gentle physical exfoliation, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells and clearing pores for a refined complexion. Its potent antioxidant compounds neutralize free radicals, mitigating environmental damage and premature skin aging. Caffeine, a key constituent, enhances microcirculation to reduce puffiness and dark circles, and stimulates lipolysis within fat cells, contributing to anti-cellulite and firming effects. Additionally, the inherent lipids and essential fatty acids support the skin's barrier function, while specific constituents like green coffee oil have been shown to boost aquaporin-3 expression, promoting deeper hydration and skin conditioning.
