Well its a very interesting concept for sure.
For those that want to feel clean, invigorated and
on top of their game
first thing in the morning!!
I tried this soap on a whim and now I'm hooked.
The refreshing peppermint aroma and effective non-harsh cleansing ability immediately made it my soap of choice.
Marketed under various brand names,
you've heard about it, now's your chance to try it
Scented with peppermint oil and infused with caffeine, each use contains approximately 200 milligrams of caffeine (equivalent of about 2 cups of coffee)
The caffeine is absorbed through the skin leaving you feeling clean and refreshed without the jittery feeling normally associated with coffee.
You Get One Full-Size 4.5 Once Bar
The claims about the soap may sound outrageous but there is proof.
Here's some links of interest regarding the benefits of caffeine applied to the skin:
Caffeine reduces skin cancer
"Lower Risk of Skin Cancer Another Perk of Caffeine" from the Wall Street Journal
Study from the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research at Rutgers University
Caffeine as a cellulite treatment
“Caffeine is in almost every cellulite-reducing product that shows any benefit, because it helps blood flow to the skin and works like a diuretic.” -Linda Wells, the Editor-in-Chief of Allure Magazine
Jergens Skin Firming Lotion
"Natural Remedy for Cellulite Reduction"

How It All Began
The caffeinated soap saga begins in a messy dorm room at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1991.
Jeff Costic and his roommate Matt Franowicz were killing some time watching a story on the news about the tobacco industry. Matt remarked,
"Now that's a nice business, sell something that people get addicted to!"
The two shared a laugh and started naming funny products that fit the bill: nicotine gum (well in advance of Nicorette, by the way),
reintroducing original Coke with the cocaine still in it, a myriad of marijuana baked goods and so on. Soon the conversation turned realistic and a few serious products were mentioned.
All were pretty uninteresting.
Just before the conversation ran its course, Jeff mentioned "caffeinated soap." Both looked at each other with a look that said "That's a really good idea."
The next few weeks all idle conversation was focused on the potential soap: Would caffeine permeate the skin? Is it OK to put it on the skin? What scent would it be?
What should it be called? An idea was born.
After some research, the first bar was handmade with crushed Vivarin as the caffeine source! People loved it. It soon amassed a very loyal band of users.
The initial formulation was just used as a replacement for a morning coffee. It wasn't until later that the other benefits of caffeine became apparent;
reducing skin cancer and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Today, Costic Inc produces thousands of bars of soap, providing a high quality product for a wide range of customers.

That's an... interesting choice, I guess. 
I get my caffeine either via an Excederine Migraine clone, or from tea.
