Actives
Bakuchiol – This plant-derived phyto-retinol has been clinically demonstrated to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles and hyperpigmentation as efficiently as retinol, without the side effects. We use a potent clinically proven phtyo-retinol known as Sytenol® A – this active ingredient is the first natural retinol. It has undergone extensive safety testing and is a high-purity ingredient and is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It has proven collagen-stimulating benefits along with the ability to defend against oxidative damage. This is our new holy grail for plumping, firming skin, fading age spots and rejuvenating ageing skin.
Bio-active Peptide Technology, SYN-EYETM, unique science-based peptide active, proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye within 7 days. Improves the skin's texture and smooths the skin of the delicate eye area.
In-vitro studies of the active have found that it:
- Visibly reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the eye within 7 days;
- Reduces the appearance of dark circles;
- Improves the skin's texture and smooths the delicate skin of the eye area; and
- Stimulates epidermal renewal and collagen synthesis for youthful and revitalised skin.
Algae Polysaccharide complex, AldavineTM-5X, a highly potent active derived from two types of algae and clinical proven to reduce dark circles and puffy eyes. This bio-active works by strengthening the integrity of the dermis matrix and protecting the micro-capillaries around the eye area from UV exposure and premature ageing. For those interested in the science it works by inhibiting the action of MMP-2, VEG2, PGE2 (inflammatory mediators) and preventing fluid leakage and vasodialation.
Clinical studies on this active has found that:
- The appearance of dark circles was visibly reduced in 100% of respondents
- Eye puffiness is visibly reduced
- Elasticity of the skin around the eyes was noticeably improved in 84% of respondents
*based on a study of 56 volunteers, applying the ingredient twice daily for 28 days
Hyaluronic Acid, provides a surge of hydration and moisture, visibly plumping the skin and making wrinkles less noticeable. Our hyaluronic acid is a mixed molecular weight which means it works on two levels. Low molecular weight HA works on the deeper layers of your skin, replacing the hydration in the thin and delicate skin under the eyes whilst larger molecules help to smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crepey skin.
