Caffeine

Common Name(s): Caffeine,methylxanthine anti-cellulite,antioxidant vasoactive

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes by inhibiting phosphodiesterase (preventing camp breakdown), reduces eye puffiness through vasoconstriction of periorbital capillaries, and provides antioxidant dna repair stimulation for photoprotective benefit.

Why It's Used: The only cosmetic active with a well-defined mechanism for anti-cellulite claims โ€” phosphodiesterase inhibition elevating adipocyte camp is the documented biochemical pathway, providing mechanism-based efficacy substantiation superior to most slimming actives.

How It Works: Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase (pde3, pde4) preventing camp hydrolysis โ†’ elevated camp activates protein kinase a โ†’ phosphorylates hormone-sensitive lipase โ†’ lipolysis of triglycerides in adipocytes. for eye puffiness: caffeine's adenosine receptor antagonism reduces prostaglandin-mediated capillary dilation in periorbital tissue, reducing fluid accumulation.

Typically Found In: Anti-cellulite,eye creams,antioxidant products
