Photozyme iQuad Total Eye Therapy 15ml – Let’s take a closer look
This eye treatment cream aims to work on a number of concerns that are typically seen around the eye area. Looking at addressing:
- Ageing concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightens the appearance of dark circles
- Promotes skin health
- Dry and dehydrated skin
- Puffiness
KEY INGREDIENTS
Firstly, let’s take a look at the key ingredients in the eye cream that helps address these concerns:
DNA Repair Enzymes
The key ingredients to all the Photozyme MD products. The eye cream includes the 3 main repair enzymes:
- Photolysomes, DNA repair enzymes extracted from plankton
- Mitosomes, DNA repair enzymes extracted from the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thalania
- Endosomes, DNA repair enzymes extracted from the marine microbe, Micrococcus lysate
These enzymes are plant-derived enzymes which mimic the body’s natural response to photodamage. The enzymes are encapsulated in a proprietary liposome delivery system which drives them into the skin delivering the cargo into the cell. The enzymes search and only adhere to the damaged DNA strand. The cell’s natural process takes over, extracting the damage and replicating a healthy DNA strand. Supporting your body’s own ability to help DNA which naturally slows down with age and high levels of exposure to UV damage.
This DNA repair promotes healthy skin as well as reducing the degradation of collagen and elastin in the skin so working also on reducing the rate of ageing in our skin.
Especially, helpful around the eye area where many clients reluctantly place SPF incase it causes irritation to the eyes, Without the correct amount of SPF, the eye area which is already thinner is therefore more susceptible to UV exposure and needs additional protection which is offered through the DNA repair technology in the IQUAD therapy.
L-Ascorbic – Vitamin C
Vitamin C is considered a super antioxidant and is shown to provide photoprotection, increase collagen production and lightening and brightening benefits to the skin. It works well in the eye cream as it addresses dark circles, fine lines and promotes healthy, glowing skin.
Tocopherol Acetate – Vitamin E
Vitamin E has antioxidant benefits and healing benefits. It is considered an anti-inflammatory that helps reduce the effect of free radicals and shields the skin against damage caused by the sun’s UV radiation. It also helps make the skin nourished, hydrated, and more radiant. It also supports and works well with Vitamin C – working in synergy and providing superb photoprotection.
Caffeine
Caffeine is an antioxidant that also works to stimulate blood flow in the skin. This stimulation helps wake up the eye area and helps reduce puffiness which increases blood circulation. Caffeine also helps the microcirculation of blood in the skin, which helps reduce under eye shadows.
Retinol
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A which has been proven to be the most anti-ageing ingredient in the skincare industry. It helps increase collagen and elastin in the skin working on fine lines and wrinkles, smoother, firmer and tighter skin.
IQUAD uses time release retinol which means it is safe to use in your AM routine and is not designed to cause any irritation to the eye area,
Retinol also helps even skin tone, promote healthy skin and offers gentle exfoliation.
Bioactive peptide complex
IQUAD contains a combination of peptides including Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Dipeptide-2.
This combination of peptides mimics cytokines produced during wounding and they work on cell communication in the skin to promote the synthesis of collagen.
