First Notice

The eyes are often the first to show signs of age. And nothing ages a person more than the skin surrounding the eyes: dark circles, puffiness or bags, and those darn wrinkles. Clinical research promises there are effective ingredients that, in fact, diminish dark circles, reduce and minimize bags and wrinkles, giving the eyes a more refreshed and youthful look.

The challenge is finding a single product that will effectively address all three conditions.

Most of what is available to help "de-age" the eyes only measures a temporary solution. Gels or serums that give a lift for a few hours or concealers that often emphasize lines by caking when make-up is applied, are actually less than flattering.

For years a popular anti wrinkle eye cream, formulated in Europe, has been the secret to those who could afford its hefty price tag. Its results are relatively quick and dramatic. The secret to this secret is its patented ingredient, a super-duper peptide.

What is a peptide? Defined by a medical dictionary, "a peptide is a molecule consisting of 2 or more amino acids. Peptides are smaller than proteins; molecules small enough to be created from amino acids are, by convention, called peptides rather than proteins."

In other words, peptides are just small fragments of proteins.

What causes bags and puffiness? Interestingly, and perhaps surprising, it is the build-up of fluid beneath the skin caused by poor drainage, fragile capillaries and loss of elasticity in the skin. Fluid leaks into surrounding tissues and creates "bags".

And the dark circles? Ever wonder what causes this? Well, as we age and skin becomes thinner, losing its elasticity, the circulatory system under the eyes begins to leak, causing a blue-red pigmentation, which is darker than surrounding skin.

All this leakage...no wonder we so want an effective anti wrinkle eye cream.

Skin care manufacturers performing their own research, in Europe, North America, and New Zealand, have more recently initiated their own clinical tests and incorporated the aforementioned patented peptide with other proven ingredients and technology to formulate products designed to reduce the effects of aged skin around the eyes.

This advanced research, coupled with effective ingredients has resulted in improved drainage, reduced capillary fragility, minimized irritation and increased skin firmness and elasticity. In short: the all-in-one antidote for aged, tired looking eyes.

One manufacturing company performing research with their own skin care products has added some interesting ingredients with their advanced anti wrinkle eye cream; a marriage of technology and nature, if you will.

Example: there are properties of a specific honey which grows wild in New Zealand, containing healing and rejuvenating properties when applied to the skin. In fact, scientists refer to this particular honey as Unique Manuka Factor (UMF).

According to the company's website, scientists at New Zealand's Waikato University have documented that honey, "...when used topically, supports the skins own cell renewal process, and assists in the formation of stronger collagen." It has also been documented that honey contains natural antioxidants...good to battle those damaging free radicals.

Thanks to research, reversing the effects of age around the eyes is available. With advanced technology coupled with safe, effective ingredients formulated into a little anti wrinkle eye cream, we can continue to age with grace, and restore a little beauty.
