Why the eye area needs dedicated care?

The eye area is one of the most challenging areas of the face – and for good reason. The skin in this area is anatomically different from the rest of the face:

  • It is much thinner – is only 0.3-0.5 mm, while on the cheeks it is 1.5-2 mm.
  • Fewer sebaceous glands means weaker natural lubrication and greater tendency to dryness.
  • Weaker collagen-elastin scaffolding means the skin is more prone to sagging and wrinkles.
  • Thin layer of fatty tissue and intense facial expressions (blinking, laughing, squinting) accelerate the formation of wrinkles.
  • Slower microcirculation and obstructed lymph drainage are the main causes of puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

Application? Face creams are not suitable for this area. You need specialized cosmetics – with the right consistency, concentration of ingredients and research-proven safety for use in such a sensitive area.

Step 1 – Gentle scrubbing (1-2 times a week)

Why you should perform skin peeling under the eyes?

Peeling is not just a beauty ritual. Gentle exfoliation of the epidermis in the eye area improves microcirculation, eliminates lymphatic stasis and increases the effectiveness of active ingredients in subsequent stages.

  • Removes dead skin cells, which can accumulate even in this delicate zone.
  • Improves microcirculation, which can reduce swelling and dark circles.
  • Facilitates the absorption of active ingredients of the later stages of care.

What scrubs to use?

First of all, very gentle and dedicated to the skin of the eye area – light, enzymatic or micro-exfoliating. Never use facial scrubs on this delicate zone – they can not only be too strong, but also irritating.
Brightening and firming under-eye peel with a 6% acid complex and 2% keratolin THE PEELUMINATOR is the answer to the needs of the most demanding skin around the eyes.

Advanced synergy of new generation acids and enzymatic keratolin works on many levels, offering spectacular lifting, smoothing and brightening effects – no compromise, no risk of irritation.

Active ingredients of the scrub that take care of your skin

They work synergistically and gently remove dead skin, leaving the skin fresh and radiant.
  • Keratolin 2% – has an enzymatic action, so it removes dead skin cells, smoothing the skin surface and promoting cell renewal.

The effects of peeling visible to the naked eye

  • After 8 weeks: Lifting of the eye area, unification of color.
