What the brand claims

In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.

“This lightweight face serum combines 3% caffeine and 1% escin to visibly refresh tired-looking skin, helping to improve the appearance of firmness, lift, and definition over time. Formulated with a hydrating texture, it supports skin’s visible structural integrity and is suitable for daily use morning or night to counteract the look of fatigue caused by lifestyle factors.”
