Under Eye Serum

Description

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply a small amount of eye serum treatment with fingertips along bony area under your eye area and lightly spread the product along the area in a downward motion. Applying any product to the soft under eye tissue area can lead to milia development, clogged pores which form bumps.

CAUTION: Apply serum using the finger ring or the fourth finger as it is the weakest finger which will ensure that you don’t apply too much pressure on the eye area. Prevent applying too much pressure on the skin so that the sensitive skin around the eye is not damaged.

BENEFITS

• Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B-3. This essential nutrient helps build proteins in the skin and offers protection against environmental damage. Overall, niacinamide can help build proteins in the skin and lock in moisture to prevent environmental damage.

Individual benefits may include:

• • Firmer Skin. Niacinamide helps build keratin, a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy.
  • Lipid barrier. Niacinamide can help your skin produce a ceramide (lipid) barrier, which can, in turn, helps retain moisture. This is beneficial for all skin types, especially if you have eczema or mature skin.
  • Minimizes redness and blotchiness. Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Minimizes pore appearance. Keeping skin smooth and moisturized may have a secondary benefit — a natural reduction in pore size over time.
  • Helps regulates sebum production. The benefits of moisture retention aren’t just for those with dry skin types. Niacinamide can also help regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent your glands from going into overdrive.
  • Protects against UV sun damage. Niacinamide can concurrently rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
  • Helps control hyperpigmentation. Some research has found 5% niacinamide concentrations can be helpful in lightening dark spots. Benefits were seen after four weeks, but not beyond two months. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production.
  • Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that the same concentration was helpful in reducing some signs of sun damage that come with aging. This includes fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Protects against oxidative stress. Niacinamide helps build cells in the skin while also protecting them from environmental stresses, such as sunlight, pollution, and toxins.
  • Treats acne. Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory that works to reduce the swelling and redness associated with acne. It also works to regulate the amount of acne-causing oil being produced by the glands in your skin.
• Fraxinus Excelsior (Bark, leaves) Extract, Fraxinus plant has been accounted for its wide spectrum of biological activities including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticytotoxic, antiaging, antimicrobial properties.
