DESCRIPTION
Advanced Day Eye Protect is an all-encompassing anti-ageing eye cream designed to nourish and hydrate while combatting environmental causes of skin ageing.
KEY BENEFITS
Nourishing: Protect the delicate eye area with this targeted and nourishing eye cream.
Hydrating: Help prevent signs of visible ageing around the eyes caused by environmental damage while also hydrating, reducing puffiness and awakening dark circles.
Fragrance-free: The results is a smoother, more youthful-looking eye area. The fragrance-free formula is gentle on skin, sinking in rapidly, leaving eyes nourished and protected all day.
HOW IT WORKS
The delicate eye area is often one of the first places to show age and needs extra protection against external aggressors. With sun protection, Advanced Day Eye Protect shields the delicate skin from harmful UV rays to limit the visible signs of premature ageing.
Moringa extract is a breathable film former that sits on the skin surface around the eyes to provide exceptional anti-pollution defence, helping to quench free radicals before they can damage the skin.
Carnosine is a multi-tasking dipeptide which protects from both glycation and infrared light. Glycation is a natural ageing process in which dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.s) that cannot be renewed, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. Advanced Day Eye Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep the skin around the eyes protected from glycation-derived skin ageing. Carnosine can also protect the skin from infrared rays, which make up around half of the sun’s rays and could play a part in the breakdown of collagen.
Advanced Day Eye Protect features antioxidant theobroma cacao seed extract to mitigate the negative effects of the environment on skin.
A combination of caffeine and hesperidin helps to diminish the signs of dark circles to leave eyes protected, bright and refreshed.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND
“Aside from sun damage, glycation is one of the biggest contributors to premature ageing, and many people haven’t heard of it before. Glycation is the process by which sugars in your body react with proteins, such as collagen, to form advanced glycation end products or A.G.E.s for short. The A.G.E.s can form crosslinks between collagen strands, which makes the collagen stiff and inflexible. The end result of this is less supple, older looking skin, and often the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Medik8’s Advanced Day range uses the peptide, carnosine, to inhibit the glycation process to protect against premature ageing.”
Daniel Isaacs, Medik8 Director of Research
HOW TO USE
After cleansing in the morning, apply a liberal amount of Advanced Day Eye Protect around the eye area, avoiding eyelids.
