Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) and it's role in healing dark under-eye circles
Dark under-eye circles form when red blood cells seep out of the blood vessels in the skin. The red blood cells are then broken down and removed in a process similar to bruise healing. However a bruise will heal over time, but left unattended, the dark-under eye will be in a constant state of inflammation and degradation.
Red blood cells that escaped into the extracellular space are broken down into bilirubin and heme (iron) by-products. The iron contained in red blood cells becomes a source of oxidative stress for the skin. Bladder wrack extract has been proven to activate natural processes that help to remove the heme by-products, lower inflammation levels and promote collagen production*.
In CUKIER Skincare Under-Eye serum the power of bladderwrack extract is combined with chrysin to create maximum efficiency in healing the dark under-eye circles by speeding up the removal of red blood cell leakage and improving skin quality.
