The Vitamin C 10% Brightening Eye Serum is meticulously formulated to address under-eye concerns by leveraging bioactive ingredients that work synergistically at the molecular level to brighten the skin, reduce dark circles, and improve firmness while providing intense hydration and antioxidant protection.

1. Vitamin C (10%):Vitamin C, primarily in the form of L-ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant and essential cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions. It plays a critical role in collagen biosynthesis by acting as a cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes responsible for stabilizing and cross-linking collagen fibers. Enhanced collagen production improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines. activity, an essential enzyme in the melanogenesis pathway responsible for converting L-DOPA to L-DOPAquinone, leading to melanin production. By chelating copper ions at the tyrosinase active site, Vitamin C reduces melanin synthesis, leading to a lighter and more even skin tone under the eyes.
2. Hyaluronic Acid (2%):Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Its high molecular weight and polyanionic nature enable it to attract and retain water molecules, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. HA enhances skin hydration by forming a viscoelastic network in the extracellular matrix (ECM), which maintains skin turgor and elasticity.CD44 and RHAMM, influencing cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. By promoting keratinocyte proliferation and supporting the ECM, HA contributes to skin repair and plumpness in the under-eye area.
3. Peptides (2%):The serum contains bioactive peptides like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 mimics the body's own mechanisms of collagen production by activating the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway, stimulating fibroblast activity and increasing collagen types I and III synthesis. peptide, inhibits SNARE complex formation and the release of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, leading to reduced muscle contraction and the smoothing of fine lines.
4. Aloe Vera Extract (2%):Aloe Vera contains polysaccharides such as acemannan, which have immunomodulatory and wound-healing properties. Acemannan stimulates the activity of macrophages, promoting the release of growth factors like interleukin-1 (IL-1), which in turn stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. and polypeptides that provide anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins like PGE2.
5. Glycerin (3%):Glycerin is a hygroscopic molecule that functions as a humectant by attracting water from both the environment and deeper layers of the skin through aquaporin channels (AQP3). By increasing the water content in the stratum corneum, glycerin enhances skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier function.
6. Green Tea Extract (1%):Green Tea Extract is rich in polyphenols, especially Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. EGCG scavenges ROS, protecting skin cells from UV-induced oxidative damage and preventing the activation of activator protein 1 (AP-1), a transcription factor that increases matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) responsible for collagen degradation.lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways, reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes and prostaglandins. This anti-inflammatory action soothes the skin and reduces puffiness and irritation in the under-eye area.

This advanced formulation leverages the biochemical properties of its ingredients to brighten the under-eye area, reduce dark circles, improve skin firmness, and provide intense hydration and antioxidant protection. The synergistic action results in a refreshed and youthful appearance of the delicate eye area.
