CAFFEINE SKIN CARE - Why I Stopped Using The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5 + EGCG

Sharing with you the benefits and side effects of using caffeine in your skincare routine. Why I stopped using THE ORDINARY CAFFEINE SOLUTION 5 + EGCG and the best caffeine eye cream.

Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where today I want to tackle the topic of caffeine skin care and the pros and cons of using a caffeine eye serum in your skincare routine.

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5 + EGCG has to be one of the most popular skincare products on the market with lots of people reaching for it so help tackle dark circles and under eye discolouration. However having used The Ordinary eye cream for the past 3 years I found that I was getting great benefits but a lot of side effects.

The benefits of caffeine in skincare have been well studied and are listed below:

Reduction in dark circles - caffeine speeds up blood flow which can prevent pooling which is the main cause of the purple or blue undertones under the eye

Reduction in puffiness and water retention - caffeine speeds lymphatic drainage which is wonderful for eliminating water retention and puffiness around the eye and jawline.

Powerful antioxidant - caffeine is a powerful antioxidant which will protect the skin from free radical damage and ensure that we minimise oxidative stress in the skin.

Unfortunately whilst lots of people celebrate the benefits of caffeine in skincare there is less attention paid to the side effects of caffeine which I wanted to call out in this video also.

Caffeine causing dryness - caffeine serums can cause dryness if the ingredient is not formulated alongside other hydrating ingredients and humectants.

Redness - the increase of blood flow which caffeine can deliver can trigger an increase in redness in the skin which is something which can be most pronounced with those with existing redness in the skin or rosacea.

I would love to know your thoughts on caffeine and the results you have got from using it in your own skincare routine so please let me know in the comments section below.
