The field of science-backed beauty formulations is booming. With an understanding of how and why the skin degrades and ages, researchers are finding ways to halt the process from first principles – cellular health. Taking a nod from “the survival of the fittest,” scientists are honing on the compounds that show remarkable resilience in the face of challenging environment conditions in the hopes they can trigger the same response on the dermis. It explains the popularity of antioxidants – Vitamin C, Ferulic and Resveratrol – in skin care. This same logic is what makes Bacillus Lysate, derived from a microorganism that spent 18 months exposed to the extreme conditions of outer space, the powerhouse ingredient in Delavie Sciences’ Aeonia Eye Refresh.
For those unaware, eye cream is as essential as facial moisturizer in any age-fighting skin care regimen and requires special formulations to target the area. As explained by Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Michele Green, “skin under the eyes is thinner and has less of a natural barrier, so it requires gentler products than the rest of the face. While a facial moisturizer can help keep the under eyes hydrated, specialized eye creams can provide even greater benefits.”
Delavie Science’s Bacillus Lysate works threefold to tackle the pesky imperfections of the under-eye area. It shuts down inflammatory, UVA-induced free-radicals, signals the body to produce the anti-aging compounds, and increases the natural production of hyaluronic acid. The multitasking compound combines with a base of skincare favorites to keep fine lines at bay, and the area bright, depuffed, and hydrated. Shea Butter, glycerin, green, extracts, ferulic acid and peptides round out the eye cream for a synergistic glow up of the under eye.
The packaging of Aeonia Eye Refresh also works wonders. With a silver tip that allows for effortless, handsfree application, it cools and depuffs on contact. I keep mine in the refrigerator to perk up my eyes, even on days I wear make up. The emollient, fast-absorbing formula doesn’t peel under concealer. In fact, the outer space derived-cream helps with the application for a youthful, refreshed eye contour.
