Part 3: 4 Claimed Benefits vs. Dermatological Realities

• Dark Circle Reduction: Claims suggest caffeine brightens under-eyes, but coffee grounds mixed in thick petroleum jelly cannot easily absorb and can severely irritate delicate under-eye skin.

• Temporary Plumping: Vaseline excels at locking in hydration, which can temporarily smooth dry fine lines, but this comes from the petroleum jelly itself—not the added coffee.
• Cellulite Scrub: On the body, caffeine scrubs are used to temporarily boost surface circulation, but thick petroleum jelly is notoriously difficult to rinse off in the shower.
