I am pretty useless before my coffee so I LIKE this concept. Little skeptical as to how effective it will be but worth a try....

We've been handmaking caffeine soap for several years now. Ours is a clear glycerin made with hemp seed oil. Great for the skin. We named it Elevated Alert. It contains enough pure caffeine to create the energy of a cup of coffee each time you bathe. We've found that students who have a tendancy to want to sleep in when school starts benefit from it. Their parents and grandparents buy it for the kids. It is also good to use just before having to wake up to go on an early morning plane trip. AND it's good for mattress legs. caffeine is used in beauty products as a cellulite preventative.

not being offensive or anything but it seems like a load of B.S. to me but hey try it and if you like it then good for you but i think it would only work because psychologically you think it should

Another useless product to make money or not if people are smart enough not to buy this junk.

I love the effects of coffee--but it sometimes hurts my stomach and can cause bad coffee breath. I like this idea enough to try it..

Might be worth a try but i would probably still be inclined to drink a small cup of real regular coffee just to be sure I'm really jumpin'. Worst that can happen: Ya smell good from the soap and you're out the money that the soap costs.

Where have these people been?! I've been showering with coffee grounds for years...pretty messy, but great for exfoliation and a little coffee buzz!

What horse crap!!!!!! Brew your coffee and take a cup to the shower. This is an example of the fact that advertisement can encourage some to buy and belive ANYTHING!

Only one problem, I can't smoke in the shower! Nothing like a coffee and a smoke, and I'm not really a smoker.
