Why the eye area is the first to show skin ageing?

Esclusive to Dermalogica's Age
Reversal eye complex
contains an ingredient called ARG-LYS
polypeptide - this prevents formation
of AGEs (Advanced Glycation end
products) accountable for weakening
collagen and elastin (resulting
in wrinkles)*

The skin around the eye is thinner than anywhere else - meaning less collagen and elastin fibres to help keep skin smooth and firm.

Tissue in this delicate area also has fewer oil glands to help block penetration of topically-applied products or chemicals from the environment.

Key Ingredients to look out for in good products that combat wrinkles around the eyes.
