Caffeine is being used more, and more, in the cosmetics, and personal care, industry due to its definite impact on fluids and the way that they are stored. Well known for its ability to increase microcirculation, and reduce puffiness, it is recognized as one of the best actives for dark circles and puffiness.
If you add caffeine to an oil scrub, it won't have much effect on cellulite, as it has moderate water solubility and low oil solubility.
