Haloxyl®, also known as Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. This peptide works by encouraging proper circulation in that area. Essentially, studies have proven that Haloxyl® reverses the fluid build up that naturally occurs when you sleep. Eyelid swelling is a common cause of puffiness and dark circles. Accordingly, when you lie down, gravity causes fluid to accumulate in your lower eyelids. Haloxyl® counteracts this effect by increasing the lymphatic drainage by 85% in clinical studies.
Furthermore, a recent clinical study by SeDerma® concluded that Haloxyl® reduces dark circles under the eyes by 600%. This is the result of the proprietory way that Haloxyl® breaks down and flushes out of the eye area the toxin-formed pigmented blood that causes these dark circles to form.
| 22 healthy subjects applied a moderate 2% concentration of Haloxyl® for 8 weeks, and received a 19% reduction in the dark colored circles under the eyes. |

Eyeliss™ is a proprietary combination of three active peptide molecules which are designed to rapidly and effectively reduce puffiness and bag volume under the eyes by over 70% upon application. This bio-molecular engineered solution was discovered as a result of sensory perception screening tests which were specifically designed to treat puffiness under the eyes.
The components of Eyeliss™ are as follows;
 |
Hesperidin methyl chalcone acts to decrease the capillary permeability of the sensitive skin of the lower eylid. This newly discovered molecule works fast to prime the delicate skin for lymphatic drainage and toning. |
 |
Dipeptide Valyl-Tryptophane is a peptide who's purpose is to increase lympatic circulation leading to drainage. It is this peptide which is most responsible for safely draining the fluid out of the puffy eye bags. |
 |
Lipopeptide Pal-GQPR acts quickly to improve skin firmness and elasticity, whereby removing fine lines and wrinkles on the sensitive lower eyelid skin. Furthermore, this peptide actively decreases the inflammatory phenomena commonly caused by other lymphatic drainage agents. |

Matrixyl™3000 contains two matrikines™, Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR which act in synergy to restore and maintain skin's youthful appearance.
Matrikines are messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair. They activate the neosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromecules, thus providing Matrixyl™3000 with a visible anti-wrinkle efficacy. As messenger molecules, these matrikines™ are capable of regulating cell activities. More specifically, they interact with specific receptors to trigger the stimulation of certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation.
With age these complex mechanisms become progressively weaker. As such, the supplemental use of an advanced restoration multi-peptide like Matrixyl™3000 becomes an essential part of the formula for maintaining smooth skin around the eyes. Accordingly, in extensive clinical testing undertaken by SeDerma, the application of a serum containing Matrixyl™3000 has been proven to reduce unwanted expression wrinkles by 45% in only 2 months, along major and significant improvements in elasticity and tone.

Inyline™ Solution, created by Lipotec, brings a novel approach to the cosmetic treatment of expression wrinkles around the eyes.
There are two main strategies to minimise muscle contraction:
PRE-SYNAPTIC strategy, which involves different mechanisms that restrain or inhibit the release of the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) from the motor neuron. The most known example of this is a cosmetic injection, which inhibits ACh release into the synapse from the vesicles in such a dramatic way that it paralyses the muscle.
POST-SYNAPTIC strategy, which avoids or diminishes the ligand (ACh) – receptor (AChR) binding responsible for the formation of the action potential. In this strategy, although the neurotransmitter is released into the synapse, the post-synaptic apparatus does not respond to it.
Inyline™ targets this second strategy by blocking the agrin binding site in MuSK and its mechanism of action causing modulation of muscle contraction leading to muscle relaxation. In the treatment of expression wrinkles around the eyes, its pathway is critical in the contraction process and therefore its blockage results in muscle relaxation, with the skin surface appearing smoother and line depth decreasing.

SYN®-Coll stimulates the collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. Skin aging and in particular, chronic UV exposure, leads to degenerative changes in skin. This is characterized by distinct alterations in the composition of the dermal extra cellular matrix (ECM). The consequences are manifold such as increased skin fragility, leathery skin appearance and formation of wrinkles. Collagen represents the main component of the ECM of the dermal connective tissue. Thrombospondin I (TSP) is a multifunctional protein that activates the latent but biologically inactive form of TGF (Tissue Growth Factor). TGF is known as the key element in the synthesis of collagen and binds to a particular sequence in the TSP molecule. This sequence is known as ARG-PHE-LYS.
As a molecule able to activeate TGF, SYN®-COLL is considered to be an ideal aqueous based peptide. It contains a unique sequence designed to mimic the human body's own mechanism to product collagen via TGF. Accordingly, SYN®-COLL actively compensates for any collagen deficit, thus making the skin look younger.
Anti-wrinkle effect of SYN®-Coll.
The study was performed on 60 volunteers. SYN®-COLL has been compared against placebo and against a reference substance. 
Both products have been used at the recommended use level calculated for their active principle. The study lasted 84 days with a twice- daily application
Anti-wrinkle effect of SYN®-Coll.
Using the PRIMOS® technique, parallel stripe patterns are projected on the sample with successive phase shift. The analysis of fringe deformations provided a qualitative, as well as quantitative, evaluation of each height profile.
Macrophotographs
Macro photographs are done with Nikon® D1 a digital camera.
The photographs are taken in standardized, indirect light.
After 84 days of twice-daily application of 2.5% SYN®-COLL parameters average relief (Rz) and maximum relief (Rt) significantly decreased by -12%: -22 μm and -36 μm respectively (p= 0.05) characterizing smoothing and anti wrinkle effects. |
