Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
(aka the de-puffer)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Depuffs morning bags, firms slack skin, boosts elasticity, and puts crow’s-feet on mute.

Deep Dive (science snooze)
This micro-sized protein slips past the stratum corneum (skin surface) and drops an urgent memo to your fibroblasts: “More collagen and elastin—stat.” Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 goes one step further by blocking glycation (the sugar-driven stiffening that ages delicate eye skin). The result? Fresher, brighter under-eyes with spring-back bounce and fewer fine lines. Science-backed, selfie-approved.

Matrixyl® Synthe 6™ - Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38
(the wrinkle rewinder)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Reboots collagen, fills wrinkles from within, and leaves skin smoother and plumper.

Deep dive (science snooze)
A matrikine peptide that tells your skin to crank out six structural MVPs—Collagens I, III, IV, fibronectin, laminin-5 and hyaluronic acid. Think of it as a construction crew shoring up worn-out support beams. Result? Crow’s-feet and under-eye creases get padded from the inside out, delivering a firmer, cushiony surface over time.

Atelocollagen
(marine-derived)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Soaks up skin’s own moisture to puff out fine lines, adds spring-back bounce, and reinforces the under-eye’s delicate scaffold.

Deep dive (science snooze)
Atelocollagen is fish-sourced collagen that’s been trimmed of its “telo” ends—think of them as the snaggy bits most likely to irritate skin. The result is a smaller, friendlier micro-sphere that slips into surface crevices, then swells as it drinks in ambient moisture. Picture tiny water balloons parking in your fine lines and plumping them from the inside out. Meanwhile, its amino-acid profile feeds fibroblasts with the raw materials they need to knit fresh collagen over time. End game: smoother texture, cushier elasticity, and under-eyes that look less “flat-tire” and more “freshly inflated airbed.” Science-backed, selfie-elevated.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
(your skin’s ‘emotional support’ water bottle)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Drinks up 1,000× its weight in water, drip-feeds hydration all day, and smooths fine lines on contact.

Deep dive (science snooze)
Think of this cross-linked form as a long-release hydrator: the mesh-like structure traps water and releases it slowly, so your under-eyes stay dewy long after coffee break. It pads out micro-creases, cushions delicate tissue, and acts like the world’s tiniest waterbed under your skin. Plump, juicy, skin—minus the midday slump.

Caffeine
(complexion espresso shot)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Shrinks puffiness, boosts micro-circulation, and fends off free-radical fatigue.

Deep dive (science snooze)
Caffeine is a vaso-constrictor and antioxidant in one. It tightens swollen capillaries—so bags deflate—while getting blood moving just enough to sweep away dull-looking fluid. Add its free-radical-scavenging side hustle, and you’ve got brighter, tighter under-eyes in the time it takes to sip your latte.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract
(under-eye pilates class)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Energises tired skin, evens tone, and turbo-charges collagen production.

Deep dive (science snooze)
Rich in ginsenosides (plant saponins) that fire up cell metabolism, ginseng helps skin rebound from stress and late nights. It ramps up micro-circulation for a subtle rosy glow, while antioxidant power shields collagen from breakdown. Result: perkier skin tone, resilient texture, and eyes that look like you didn’t binge three episodes past bedtime.

Ascorbyl Glucoside
(stable Vitamin C)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Fades dark circles, sparks collagen, and blocks free-radical damage.

Deep dive (science snooze)
This stable C derivative converts on-skin to pure ascorbic acid, lighting up complexion without the sting. It interrupts melanin overproduction (bye, brown shadows) and donates electrons to neutralise pollution-spawned radicals. Meanwhile, it’s a co-factor for pro-collagen enzymes—translation: firmer, brighter, more even-toned under-eyes with consistent use.

Tocopherol & Tocopheryl Acetate
(antioxidant umbrella)

Quick take (TL;DR)
Seals in moisture, cushions the skin barrier, and super-charges Vitamin C’s antioxidant punch.

Deep dive (science snooze)
Fat-soluble tocopherols slot into cell membranes like flexible armour plates, preventing lipid peroxidation (the fancy term for “your barrier goes crusty”). In tandem with Vitamin C, it forms a regeneration loop—E neutralises free radicals, C recharges E—so protection lasts longer. End result: calm, comfortable under-eyes that stay resilient in harsh climates, blue-light binges, and everything life throws at you.
