A hydrating anti-aging eye cream with Caffeine, Matrixyl Synthe'6, Snap-8, and a botanical brightening complex that smooths fine lines, reduces dark circles, and firms the delicate eye area.
The eye area ages differently from the rest of the face: the skin is thinner, the muscle movement is more constant, and the absence of oil glands makes it structurally more prone to dehydration. The Circadia Renewal Eye Cream addresses all three dimensions with a lightweight, clinically targeted formula combining Caffeine for de-puffing and circulation support, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl Synthe'6) and Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (Snap-8) for peptide-powered anti-aging, and a concentrated botanical brightening complex of cucumber, melon, passionfruit, apple, citrus, and watermelon extracts for dark circles and luminosity.
The Circadia Renewal Eye Cream was built to address all three, simultaneously.
Caffeine is the formula's de-puffing and dark circle ingredient. Caffeine has well-established clinical evidence for vasoconstriction: it temporarily tightens blood vessels, reducing the pooling of blood that contributes to dark circles and the fluid accumulation that creates morning puffiness. It also stimulates lymphatic drainage in the periorbital area, helping to move accumulated fluid out of the tissue.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl Synthe'6) is the primary anti-wrinkle peptide. Its mechanism of stimulating the production of collagen I, III, and IV, hyaluronic acid, fibronectin, and laminin 5 applies as effectively in the delicate eye area as in the rest of the face, and its gentle tolerability makes it particularly suitable for the thin, reactive periorbital skin.
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (Snap-8) is an anti-wrinkle peptide that works through a complementary mechanism, reducing the depth of expression lines by modulating the neuromuscular signal that causes the repetitive muscle contractions that create crow's feet. It is often described as a gentler, topical alternative to the neuromodulation approach.
The brightening complex is unusually comprehensive: Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract for antioxidant protection of the periorbital skin, Cucumis Melo (Melon) and Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extracts for soothing and anti-inflammatory support, Passiflora Edulis (Passionfruit) for brightening, Malus Domestica (Apple) and Citrus Limon (Lemon) for brightening and mild exfoliating acids, and Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) for hydrating and soothing effects.
The base formula uses Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Cera, a plant wax from rice bran that provides a smooth, non-greasy texture ideal for the eye area. The Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin delivery system improves the penetration and bioavailability of the active ingredients.
• Pat gently rather than rubbing.
• Work from the inner corner of the eye outward, along the orbital bone.
• Do not apply directly on the eyelid or too close to the lash line.
• Can be applied before or after any eye area serums.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl Synthe'6): Stimulates production of collagen I, III, IV, hyaluronic acid, fibronectin, and laminin 5 to address fine lines and loss of firmness around the eye.
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (Snap-8): Reduces expression line depth by modulating the neuromuscular signal responsible for repetitive muscle contractions that create crow's feet.
Brightening Botanical Complex: Cucumber, Melon, Passionfruit, Apple, Lemon, and Watermelon Extracts providing brightening, antioxidant, and soothing support for dark circles and periorbital skin health.
