While there is much debate about the pros and cons of indulging in your daily espresso, there are clear and defined up-shots to dosing the skin with topical caffeine.
Not only can it reduce puffiness and under-eye darkness, it functions as a potent antioxidant that can fight free radicals before they wreck ageing havoc on your skin.
On its own it is a helpful ingredient, but it also boosts the effectiveness of others, including Vitamin B and C + Hyaluronic Acid.
No wonder Claire Hill’s WPC Complex Eye Gel works wonders and this is why it should be part of your skincare regime:

Let’s get technical as to why we love the new Claire Hill WPC Eye Complex:
Did you know?
Retinol is made up of small molecules that are able to penetrate the epidermis and travel to the middle layer of skin called the dermis. Once here retinol neutralizes free radicals to boost the production of elastin and collagen, creating a “plumping” effect that softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What is Stevisse?
Stevisse is a plant based alternative to retinol (VitA) that offers similar rejuvenating results but without the negative side effects such as irritation or redness.
How does Stevisse work?
Stevisse prevents the degradation of essential extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins responsible for providing structural support to surrounding cells by reducing the production of metalloproteinases MMP1 and MMP3. Stevisse also boosts HMOX1, TXNRD and OSGIN1 gene expression to improve skins resistance to oxidative stress whilst also reducing the expression of the pro-inflammatory PTGS2 gene minimising irritation.
