Dear Monique
Thank you for your question.
When we look at dark circles around the eye area we have discovered they are quite often genetic and therefore may be difficult to treat.
However you will be pleased to know much research has gone into this common concern, and science has discovered several ingredients to positively impact upon dark circles. These ingredients include: Fraxinus Excelsior Bark Extract which has been shown to prevent breakdown of hemoglobin (dark color under eye area) and also Caffeine to constrict capillaries to prevent leaking of fluid. Dermalogica has recently launched a fantastic new eye product called Age Reversal Eye Complex that has contains the two above mentioned ingredients and has been proven to help reduce the appearance of dark circles. I would like to let you know Dermalogica have another amazing eye product that is cost effective and will help to conceal your dark circles. It’s called the Total Eye Care SPF 15. Some key ingredients and benefits of the Total Eye Care SPF 15 are: Lactic Acid which helps to smooth and and retexturizes the eye area, Sodium PCA which attracts and binds moisture, Titanium Dioxide which protects from UVA & UVB radiation to help shield against further damage and last but certainly not least Optical Light Diffusers which help diminish the appearance of dark circles and give the eye area an overall fresher look.
If you would like to find out more about either of these two eye treatments please feel free to visit www.dermalogica.com.au and you will be able to find Dermalogica stockists and further information regarding these products.
All the best, Emma
