The Caffeine 1% Anti-Fatigue Under-Eye Cream utilizes advanced skin science to address under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. Each ingredient plays a key role in revitalizing the delicate skin around the eyes, enhancing hydration, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation to target signs of fatigue.

Caffeine (1%)

Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it constricts blood vessels and reduces the pooling of blood under the skin that can lead to puffiness and dark circles. By constricting capillaries, Caffeine minimizes fluid retention in the under-eye area and promotes circulation, which brightens dark circles caused by poor blood flow. Caffeine also has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can accelerate aging in the under-eye area.

Peptides (2%)

Peptides, specifically palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, are collagen-boosting molecules that stimulate fibroblasts to increase the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the skin, preventing sagging, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Peptides also act on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), inhibiting the enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen in the skin, helping to maintain firmness and elasticity over time.

Hyaluronic Acid (1%)

Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, ensuring long-lasting hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration. Hyaluronic Acid forms a moisture reservoir in the skin, plumping the under-eye area and making it look smoother and more supple. Its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water ensures that the delicate under-eye skin stays hydrated and firm throughout the day.

Vitamin K (0.5%)

Vitamin K plays an important role in blood coagulation and helps improve microcirculation in the skin, reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by poor blood flow and blood pooling in the under-eye area. Vitamin K works at a molecular level by improving the integrity of blood vessels, reducing leakage and buildup of blood that causes the bluish tint seen in dark circles.

Green Tea Extract (1%)

Green Tea Extract contains polyphenols, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which provide strong antioxidant protection. Green Tea neutralizes free radicals and reduces inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways like NF-κB, which are responsible for redness and puffiness. This anti-inflammatory action soothes the delicate under-eye area and reduces puffiness, while its antioxidant properties protect the skin from environmental stressors that contribute to premature aging.

Aloe Vera (2%)

Aloe Vera contains polysaccharides that form a protective, hydrating layer on the skin's surface, soothing and calming the under-eye area. Aloe Vera’s anti-inflammatory properties stem from its ability to inhibit the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, which reduces the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Aloe Vera also promotes fibroblast activity, increasing collagen production and helping to repair and rejuvenate the delicate under-eye skin.

This formulation combines the hydrating, firming, and anti-inflammatory properties of Caffeine, Peptides, and antioxidants to refresh the under-eye area, reduce puffiness, and minimize the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
