Depuff
Morning and evening, the Lifting eye contour serum with eyebright & Eyeseryl: pat a grain of rice from the inner corner towards the temple.
Your concern
Tired eye contour: bags, dark circles and fine lines
Your eyes show tiredness before anything else: the skin there is so thin that the slightest water retention or loss of firmness is visible. The good news: it responds quickly to the right actives.
Why the eyes show it so quickly
The skin around the eye is the thinnest on the body — five times thinner than on the cheeks — resting on a dense network of tiny blood vessels and put to work by 10,000 blinks a day. Three phenomena converge there. Morning bags are water retention: lymph circulates poorly during sleep and pools in the lower eyelid — this is where Eyeseryl comes in, a tetrapeptide specifically studied to promote drainage and reduce puffiness. Bluish dark circles from tiredness are due to microcirculation showing through thin skin: eyebright extract — the herbalist's plant for the eyes — decongests and soothes. Finally, fine lines are first and foremost dehydration lines on this skin, which has few sebaceous glands: hyaluronic acid and niacinamide plump them up and strengthen the barrier. Two application rules make all the difference: a tiny amount (a grain of rice for both eyes) and a patting motion from the inside outwards, without ever pulling the skin.
The 3-step routine
Plump
Its hyaluronic acid and niacinamide smooth dehydration lines and firm the eyelid over the weeks.
Support
In the morning, the Antioxidant serum with vitamins B3, C & E applied all over the face also protects the collagen reserves around the eyes.
Frequently asked questions
Bags are a swelling (water retention), at their worst on waking and subsiding during the day; dark circles are a discolouration (bluish from tiredness, brown from pigmentation). The two often coexist — and both eyebright and Eyeseryl act on the congestive side of each.
A tetrapeptide (acetyl tetrapeptide-5) specifically developed for the eye contour: it promotes the drainage of stagnant water in the eyelid — the very mechanism behind morning bags.
A grain of rice for both eyes: the area is tiny and the skin very thin, so any excess migrates into the eye and irritates it. Pat it in with the tip of your ring finger — the gentlest finger — without ever pulling.
The decongestant works on morning bags from the very first applications; firmness and fine lines improve over 4 to 8 weeks of regular use, giving the peptides time to do their in-depth work.
