The study I always see cited about it destroying collagen synthesis involved applying caffeine directly on skin cells at ridiculously high concentrations. I read somewhere that you’d have to drink the equivalent of like 30 espressos to concentrate that much caffeine in your body

Caffine really is not good for your skin, besides that it messes up your sleep cycle and can increase your risk of digestive issues, high blood pressure and muscle breakdown, so personally, I try to keep my caffeine levels non-existent or low.

I’m going to cut back (sometimes drink 4 cups of black coffee a day) but I really enjoy coffee and don’t want to cut it out entirely unless there is better evidence

take decaf, or just drink tea.
 
Avoid addictive substances as much as possible. It's that simple.
 
Caffeine is a potent antioxidant, i don't think drinking coffie harms your skin and more likely offers benefits, caffeine is also in many skincare products.
There is a dermatologist on YouTube who drinks gallons and gallons of coffee a day, i think she's called "Dr Dray" and she probably has a video on the subject
