Personal Experience

I have personally tried a few products of mCaffeine. The first one is the Cappuccino coffee body wash with almond milk which is extremely soothing on the skin. Curated with pure arabica coffee, caffeine and almond milk, this one helps with exfoliation and supports intense moisturization. The product has the invigorating aroma of coffee and is free from sulphates and dermatologically tested. A small drop is enough for a generous lather and the product is suitable for all skin types. A perfect solution not only for a relaxed bath but also supple and hydrated skin!

The pleasantly fragranced Latte coffee face wash with almond milk and shea butter has a rejuvenating effect on the skin considering its superlative ingredients. The face feels instantly nourished after using this leaving it toned, supple and visibly youthful!

The last product I tried was the Coffee body lotion formulated with Arabica coffee, caffeine and shea butter. With a zesty and energizing aroma, this one is non-sticky and leaves the skin perfectly hydrated.
