Products that Rebuild Skin minimize Dark Eye Circles
Your skin has 3 layers--the middle layer is called the dermis. The dermis actually shrinks as we age, leaving blood vessels almost visible, and creating the look of dark eye circles. Products that
actively increase the production of collagen and elastin and increase hydration in
the dermis correct the thinning that occurs as your age and help you maintain a
youthful, plump dermis that masks the dark color of your blood vessels.

scientific proof that Vitamin C and Matrikines are effective!
Vitamin C- Topical vitamin C is very effective at reversing aging damage,
as vitamin C stimulates fibroblasts to multiply and increase their production
of collagen. Vitamin C is also essential for stabilizing existing collagen.
High concentrations of vitamin C also can lighten over pigmented skin by
supressing melanin formation. All of these effects lead to a significant
reduction in the appearance of your dark under eye circles!
Soybean Extracts- Soybean extracts have been found to increase the synthesis of
collagen from dermal skin cells (fibroblasts).
Retinol
(Vitamin A)- Topical Vitamin A has been shown to
increase collagen synthesis and encourage fibroblasts to multiply. Retinoic
acid is the most active form of Vitamin A, so look for products that contain
this form.
Vitamin E- Topical vitamin E has been shown to correct collagen and elastin
damage, and works even better when applied in conjunction with Vitamin C and/or
Selenium!
