Eyeseryl^® (acetyl tetrapeptide-5)

Eyeseryl® (acetyl tetrapeptide-5) is manufactured by Lipotec. Its INCI Name is: Water (Aqua), Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5. Eyeseryl® (acetyl tetrapeptide-5) is a tetrapeptide with a recognized efficacy against puffy eye bags. It has double action: reduction of puffy eye bags and dark circles. It can improve skin elasticity as well.

As skin loses its elasticity and muscles weaken through age, loose skin can accumulate around the eyes, forming eye bags. Water accumulation is another reason for puffy eyes, also known as eyelid oedema. This accumulation is due to several vascular diseases, such us a poor lymphatic circulation or an increased capillary permeability.

In vitro and in vivo tests has shown that Eyeseryl® fights against oedema-forming mechanisms and shows a decongesting effect, enhancing elasticity and skin smoothness. Eyeseryl® prevents collagen cross-linking via Inhibition of collagen glycation, thereby avoids losing elasticity and subsequent eye bags formation. Eye bags were reduced in 70% of the volunteers after 28 days with 1% eyeseryl Solution. Puffy eye bags were decreased in only 14 days with a draining and decongesting effect. Skin elasticity had a 30% increase after 30 days.
