4g beta-alanine, three caffeine hits, straight-up high-stim power.
Afterdark Inhuman Face Melter is a straight-up high-stim pre-workout that's all about mixing a powerful stim blend with enough real performance boosters to make your workout count after the rush kicks in. This isn't your everyday pump driver or something for beginners. It's for advanced folks who want big energy boosts, more drive, sharper focus during workouts, and better handling of that burn in high-rep sets during tough sessions.
The main support comes from 4,500mg of L-citrulline malate 2:1. That gives you about 3g of pure L-citrulline, which is under the 6g that's often seen as the gold standard in studies for workout performance, but it's still plenty helpful for nitric oxide, blood flow, and getting a good pump. You'll notice some pump and better blood to your muscles, just not the maxed-out vein-popping from 6-8g doses. Beta-alanine is cranked up to 4,000mg, which beats the usual 3.2g daily target for boosting muscle carnosine. That's key because beta-alanine isn't a quick hit; it builds up carnosine in your muscles over time, helping buffer acid so you can push through the burn better once it's loaded.
Taurine at 1,000mg helps with cell hydration, balance, and overall performance. In a heavy stim mix like this, taurine keeps things smooth for your nerves and muscles instead of letting it turn into total mayhem. L-tyrosine at 500mg, with B6 and B12, helps make those feel-good brain chemicals, but it's a solid dose, not overloaded; some focus-heavy pres go way higher on tyrosine. L-theanine is at 50mg, which takes the edge off the stims a bit, but it's not the 200mg you'd see in smoother blends.
Afterdark Inhuman by Afterdark contains 20mg Vitamin B3, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.
Key Highlights
- 4,000mg Beta-Alanine — that's more than the standard 3.2g from studies for bumping up muscle carnosine. This is what helps you handle the acid buildup better over time, so you can grind through those burning high-rep sets.
- 4,500mg L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 — gives you real pump and blood flow, even if it's not the full clinical pure citrulline amount. You'll feel solid nitric oxide support for your workouts, but let's be real: it's good, not topped out.
- 1,000mg Taurine — a solid add for keeping hydrated, balanced, and your muscles firing smooth in this intense stim setup. It stops the whole thing from being just wild energy without any backbone.
- 250mg Theobromine HCl — a big dose of this longer-lasting stim that pairs with caffeine for a smoother, longer ride. No single big spike; it keeps you going strong further into your workout.
- 200mg Eria Jarensis — throws in mood boosts, extra drive, and that good-vibe edge stim fans love. Basically, it gets you in that pumped-up, ready-to-crush mindset right before you start lifting.
- 100mg Synephrine HCl — a strong hit that adds heat and extra stim kick beyond caffeine. Makes the whole thing feel more urgent and geared for cutting than your average pre.
- 2.5mg Alpha Yohimbine — a serious dose of rauwolscine that amps up energy, heat, and focus. This is for pros, not something light and easy.
- Triple-source caffeine system — anhydrous, dicaffeine malate, and micro-encapsulated for quick start and lasting power. It's built for that immediate punch plus energy that sticks around, not a fast crash.

Who Is This For?
- Seasoned bodybuilders grinding high-volume hypertrophy who need more than basic caffeine. 4g beta-alanine and 1g taurine help with tough sets, stims drive long push, pull, or leg days.
- Pro pre users who love high-stims with alpha yohimbine, synephrine, and multi-caffeine. For those who know their stim game and want that charged-up, urgent workout feel.
- Lifters in morning cuts needing drive, intensity, and hunger curb. Adrenergic mix from synephrine, alpha yohimbine, caffeine, theobromine nails cutting vibes.
- Gym rats bored by weak store pres wanting real edge. Pairs clear boosters like 4.5g citrulline malate and 4g beta-alanine with bold stims.
- Folks who dig obvious pre feels. Beta-alanine tingles, possible niacin flush, heavy stims give clear 'it's working' signal.
- Users wanting pump but not at energy's cost. Citrulline isn't max pure, but adds flow with dominant energy-focus.
How to Use
Begin with half scoop in 10-14 oz cold water 20-30 minutes pre-workout to test tolerance. Key because of alpha yohimbine, synephrine HCl, eria jarensis, and hidden total caffeine from three sources. If it's good, bump to full scoop for big days. Shake it in a bottle for best mix—beats stirring. Hits faster empty stomach, but if stims bug you, try after light food to ease it. No stacking with extra caffeine, burners, or yohimbine unless you're pro at it. For max from 4g beta-alanine, use steady or add standalone off days. Tolerance builds, so save for tough days. Store sealed, cool, dry, no moisture for good scoops.
What to Expect
0-10 minutes: might feel it settling, alertness picking up, maybe some niacin warmth. 10-20 minutes: beta-alanine tingles hit, energy climbs, stims like caffeine, synephrine, and theobromine start kicking in. 20-40 minutes: prime time for most—focus tightens, heat builds, drive surges, workout feels ready to crush. 40-90 minutes: stays strong thanks to multiple caffeine types, not just a quick peak. Days 1-7: stims, focus, and tingles stand out, pumps come per workout. Weeks 2-4: beta-alanine builds carnosine, helping you push harder reps, turning it into more than buzz.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Afterdark Inhuman Face Melter?
The label confirms three caffeine sources—caffeine anhydrous, dicaffeine malate, and micro-encapsulated caffeine—but it does not disclose the exact milligrams from each or the total caffeine per serving. Because of that, it should be treated as a very strong high-stim pre-workout and approached with a conservative first serving.
Is Inhuman Face Melter a beginner pre-workout?
No. The combination of undisclosed total caffeine, 100mg synephrine HCl, 2.5mg alpha yohimbine, 250mg theobromine, and 200mg eria jarensis makes this an advanced-user formula with a much more aggressive profile than standard daily pre-workouts.
What does the 4g of beta-alanine actually do?
Beta-alanine increases muscle carnosine over time, and carnosine helps buffer the acid buildup that drives the burning sensation during hard sets. At 4g, this formula is above the classic 3.2g daily benchmark, so it is meaningfully dosed for long-term fatigue resistance rather than just label appeal.
Is 4.5g citrulline malate enough for a good pump?
Yes, it can still support a noticeable pump and blood flow, but it is not maxed out relative to fully clinical pure L-citrulline dosing. Because 4.5g of 2:1 citrulline malate provides roughly 3g of pure citrulline, it sits in the useful range rather than the top-end research range.
Why does this formula use three different caffeine sources?
The formulator is aiming for a staggered energy curve. Caffeine anhydrous drives fast onset, dicaffeine malate slows part of the delivery profile, and micro-encapsulated caffeine helps extend the stimulant tail so the session does not fall off as quickly.
Can I stack this with a pump product?
Yes, and that is one of the smartest ways to use it if you want fuller nitric oxide support. Since the citrulline dose is useful but not fully clinical on a pure L-citrulline basis, pairing it with a stim-free pump formula can materially improve blood-flow support without adding more stimulants.
Will this make me tingle?
Very likely. The 4g beta-alanine dose is high enough that many users will notice a pronounced paresthesia, especially on an empty stomach or if they are newer to beta-alanine.
Can I take this at night?
For most users, no. Between the undisclosed total caffeine, multiple caffeine delivery forms, theobromine, alpha yohimbine, synephrine, and huperzine A, this formula can interfere with sleep for hours after training.
What makes Face Melter different from a standard pre-workout?
Standard pre-workouts usually rely on simpler caffeine-based stimulation with more moderate supporting ingredients. Face Melter adds aggressive adrenergic compounds like synephrine and alpha yohimbine on top of a layered caffeine system, creating a much more intense energy and thermogenic feel.
Should I use a full scoop right away?
No. Start with 1/2 scoop to assess tolerance, especially if you have never used alpha yohimbine, synephrine, or high-stim pre-workouts before. A full scoop should be reserved for users who already know they handle this level of stimulation well.
