As we age, multiple cellular metabolic processes begin to decline, including stratum corneum hydration and the synthesis of key skin connective tissues such as collagen and elastin. The delicate tissue of the eye zone lacks subcutaneous tissue, rendering this area more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, dark circles and puffiness due to poor microcirculation.
Solar protective Peptides and Amino Acids, which are found naturally in human skin, protect cells from thermal and oxidative stressors, which would ordinarily damage precious proteins such as collagen and elastin. Topical nutrients in the form of proteins and powerful botanical extracts actively thicken the epidermis and hydrate fragile orbital contours, alleviating redness, sensitivity and fine lines.
