Hawthorn and Jasmine of Arabia phytocomplex

This is an automatic translation

The hawthorn and jasmine of Arabia phytocomplex is the main functional ingredient that we find in the recipe of the 3 in 1 eye contour cream. But what benefits does this active ingredient bring? Let's discover them together!

Bags, dark circles and wrinkles: let's talk about it!

The eye area is an extremely fragile part of the face and the skin in this area is much thinner than the rest of the face. For this reason, the eye area needs special care and attention, especially if they appear:

  • Dark circles under the eyes

The predominant factors related to their occurrence are:

  1. Microcirculation → broken capillaries may occur which lead to an accumulation of red blood cells in the eye contour area
  2. Accumulation of melanin → excessive pigmentation of the skin
  3. Glycation → process of union between proteins and sugars which compromises their functionality and properties
  • Wrinkles

Over the years, we often find ourselves dealing with the dreaded sagging eyelids, double creases, the so-called "crow's feet" and, in general, we have to fight against sagging skin that can reveal our age or even increase it!

How does the active ingredient work?

The hawthorn and jasmine of arabia phytocomplex is a precious elixir with filming and lifting power, useful for reducing expression lines and lifting the upper eyelids, fighting dark circles and restoring the tone of the eye contour. In particular, the surprising action of the phytocomplex arises from the combination of two powerful white flowers:

Jasmine of Arabia → a splendid flower that grows in southern Himalaya and takes its name from the Persian term "yâsamin" which means "Gift of God". Rich in iridoid glycosides and flavonoids it was traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory or anti-rheumatic.

Hawthorn → Born in Europe, known in the Victorian age as the flower of hope. Rich in flavonoids, it was traditionally used to treat and cure circulatory problems.

The extracts of the two flowers act synergistically by promoting skin microcirculation, counteracting the accumulation of liquids in the bags and giving a tensor, firming and lightening effect to the eye area.

In vivo test: proven efficacy

The test was conducted on a panel of 20 women aged between 40 and 60, each of whom had dark circles under the eyes and expression lines around the eyes. The phytocomplex was applied twice a day for 28 days to one eye only, demonstrating visible results compared to the eye treated only with the placebo. Measurements were performed 2 weeks apart, at 0, 14, and 28 days.

Already after 14 days, women noticed an improvement in the appearance of the eye contour treated with the phytocomplex of hawthorn and jasmine of Arabia, noting a reduction in wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes.
