Abstract in brief

Caffeine is widely used in cosmetics because it can penetrate the skin and has high biological activity, making it effective in various skin treatments.
It is commonly included in anti-cellulite products where it helps break down fats and prevents excess fat buildup in cells by inhibiting phosphodiesterase activity.
Additionally, caffeine offers antioxidant benefits by protecting skin cells from UV damage, promoting better blood circulation, and encouraging hair growth by inhibiting 5-reductase activity.]

@MachoMarket @Outdoctrination Not true for topical application. “Moreover, caffeine contained in cosmetics increases the microcirculation of blood in the skin and also stimulates the growth of hair through inhibition of the 5-α-reductase activity.” https://t.co/yhQTAuA3U1
