About Our AnteAGE Eye Cream for Dark Circles: What You Need to Know

Dark circles under the eyes are a common problem but luckily one that is typically only cosmetic and not cause for medical concern. 

Fortunately, it can be a fairly easy condition to treat, and our AnteAGE eye cream for dark circles may be able to help. Here are a few things you should know about causes and treatment.

What Causes Dark Circles Under Your Eyes?

The eye area, which has thin, fragile skin, is particularly susceptible to free-radical induced damage and signs of aging, including dark circles, bags, puffiness and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused or simply exacerbated by a wide range of factors and conditions. These are among the most common: 

• Fatigue: Lack of sleep or an irregular sleep schedule can contribute to the formation or aggravation of dark circles and bags under your eyes. 

For instance, lack of adequate sleep can make your skin duller and paler, allowing the blood vessels underneath to show through. Poor or insufficient sleep can also cause fluid accumulation around the eyelids, casting shadows that may be mistaken for dark circles (although the problem is the same). 

It is also important to remember that excessive sleep and irregular sleep patterns can also contribute to the appearance of dark circles. Too much sleep, and not just too little, can be a problem too.

• Age: Age also contributes to the formation of dark circles underneath your eyes, which can be worsened by changing sleep habits as you get older. 

As you age, your skin naturally becomes thinner and collagen and connective tissue naturally break down. This creates the same issue as fatigue; your skin allows the blood vessels underneath your eyes to show through, making them appear darker, almost like a bruise. 

• Strain: Strain can also cause dark circles and puffiness to form under your eyes. If you spend multiple hours per day staring at a screen for work, it can cause the blood vessels around your eyes and the tissue surrounding your eyelids to swell and darken. 

• Dehydration: Dehydration can and will adversely impact your skin tone, and if your body is dehydrated your skill will look dull and dry too. Also, dehydration can cause your skin to shrink or recede, creating a contrast between it and the underlying blood vessels. 

• Sun exposure: Sun exposre can also cause or aggravate dark under eye circles. Too much sun exposure can cause excess melanin formation, darkening the skin under and around your eyes. 

In addition to these, genetic factors and allergies can also cause or worsen the appearance of dark circles and even bags underneath your eyes. 

Our AnteAGE eye cream for dark circles, however, is specifically formulated to help.

Can an Eye Cream for Dark Circles Help?

While many “eye creams for dark circles” are just marked up skin care products surrounded by marketing hype, our AnteAGE Eye: Cream for Puffiness and Undereye Darkness is uniquely formulated to treat conditions surrounding the eye area, without the use of harsh chemicals or additives that cause systemic side effects. 

The foundation of our eye cream for dark circles is a formulation of ethically sourced, bone-marrow derived stem cell cytokines and growth factors that promote healing, collagen production, and fight inflammation. 

Cytokines, specifically are vital proteins (such as peptides, glycoproteins, and exosomes) that are involved in intercellular communication and which can fight the signs of aging. Cytokines reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and improve skin tone and function by increasing collagen production, promoting skin cell turnover, and boosting healing. 

Our formula also includes a rich assortment of other additives that improve the function of these cytokines and growth factors, such as:

• N-Acetyl Glucosamine: Increases collagen, reduces hyperpigmentation, and is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): Reduces hyperpigmentation, fights oxidative stress, and more. 

• Vitamin C (multiple forms): Promotes collagen production, fights oxidative stress, reduces hyperpigmentation, improves stability of skin texture, and more. 

• Glucosyl ceramide and phospholipids: Improve skin barrier function as well as skin tone and texture. 

• DDBD: Smooths skin texture and fights the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  

• GABA: Increases collagen production, reduces hyperpigmentation, boosts elasticity and skin barrier function, and is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

• Honey locust extract: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles and encourages plumper, tighter skin.

• Tetracacetylphytosphingosine: Reduces the appearance of dark circles and regulates the skin’s natural microbiome. 

In addition to these, our formula also includes numerous other plant-based extracts and medical grade compounds that are known for their anti-aging and anti-infllamatory effects. 

Our eye cream can be effective at combating dark circles over time, but there is more you can do to help fight this condition.

What Else You Can Do

If your goal is to protect the thin, delicate skin around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles, you can also try: 

• Applying a cold compress: Cold therapy can help reduce swelling, irritation and puffiness and may even constrict the blood vessels, lessening the appearance of undereye bags and circles. 

• Keeping hydrated: Drink more water; on average, adult males need just under 4 liters of water per day and females just under 3. Other drinks like milk, tea and some juices (not too sugary, though) can help improve your hydration levels. 

• Elevating your head: Adding a few pillows to your bed and elevating your head while you sleep can help prevent fluid from pooling around your eyes, which can stress thin skin and cause the formation of bags and circles.

• Getting more sleep or keeping to a more structured routine: Last but not least, simply getting more sleep, or at least keeping to a routine sleep schedule can help protect your eyes’ sensitive skin and help fight dark circles and bags.
