I only heard this from one person, an R.N. at a dermatologist's office, said topical caffeine applied under eyes for "puffy bags" may help alleviate the puffiness, like during night. I noticed caffeine is in a lot of cosmetic products too. Personally, I see no results good or bad with the consumption of caffeine as I drink it like water (coffee products). That's me though.

I have been told that I should use one once a week. Any opinions on the popular aspirin masks? I have used a combination of honey, a couple drops of water, and BC powder(powdered aspirin with CAFFEINE, and salicylamide) in the past. Thanks! So what do you think of masks?

Are you still doing that?

Medical research really is a moving target. I agree with you - people shouldn't be so quick to hype something up when only one study has been done on it. Wise words from the world's best Peet's customers. :) Thanks for the information, Dan. Medical research really is a moving target.

I heard needling was a good treatment for pitted scars... will needling work for my case? Does needing help with all kinds of scars? Thanks.

It IS important to remember to drink more water if you do enjoy caffinated beverages, as caffiene is a diuretic. It's important to keep that skin hydrated!

I have seen this happen with many people, including myself. This is because caffeine causes similar hormonal reactions in the body as stress. Put simply, the more stressed-out you are, the more oil your skin produces and at the same time, the more caffeine you intake, the more oil your skin produces. The solution is not to cut out caffeine completely. I tried this and it simply means that whenever you encounter caffeine, your body has no tolerance and so you are at a higher risk of breaking-out. The solution is to consume caffeine in moderation: drink mainly decaffinated tea and coffee and don't suddenly binge on milk and dark chocolates. Caffeine is not your enemy, in moderation it can be used to give you a quick energy spike when you need it, but in excess quantities, it carries the risk of increasing oil production.
