Which ingredients give the fresh, invigorating effect, and how do they work in a rinse-off gel?

The formula combines several ingredients that, in rinse-off cosmetics, contribute to a fresher skin surface sensation rather than a systemic effect:

  • Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus) is used in tonic-style skin products. In this gel it supports the product’s active, resilient feel; in a rinse-off wash its role is about skin surface perception, not energy or performance for the whole body.
  • Caffeine is included because it helps the skin feel more awake and refreshed when applied topically, which is a common cosmetic use.
  • Menthol provides an immediate cooling note. That is the main reason the gel feels cold and brisk on wet skin, and also why people who dislike cooling washes may find it too strong.
  • Sakhalin lemongrass contributes a fresh aromatic profile and a lively skin feel. In this context, it is more about scent and freshness than about functional skincare.
  • Vitamin E is added to soften the overall effect of cleansing, and vitamin A in cosmetic form complements the skin-conditioning side of the formula.
  • Glycerin and milder co-surfactants help balance the wash so skin feels clean rather than stripped and tight.

The practical takeaway: the “Alfa” feel comes mostly from menthol and caffeine tonicity, while the glycerin and co-surfactant base keeps the gel from being overly harsh. Because it is a rinse-off product, the ingredients work on the skin surface and are not absorbed like a food or supplement.
