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.

Retinol
0.1% is proven in clinical studies to reverse the signs of ageing

UGL Complex
Retexturises skin without irritating the delicate eye tissue

Fraxinus
Prevents discolouration (dark circles due to hyperpigmentation), provides surface firming

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Firms, improves elasticity; helps fight fine lines and wrinkles

Chinese Mushroom (silver ear)
Provides critical hydration to alleviate skin sensitivity due to hydration

White tea
Antioxidant polyphenols that fight Reactive Oxygen species (ROS free radicals) that trigger the signs of ageing
