Ηydrating Antiwrinkle Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is thinner than any other part of our body, which makes it more sensitive to changes. Lack of sleep, stress, fatigue and use of electronic devices contribute to puffiness and dark circles. Bags under the eyes and dark circles are the result of many disorders, such as poor blood circulation, lymphatic congestion of the interstitial fluids, sagging skin and a decrease in microcirculation.

The anti-wrinkle cream with a rich texture for the area around the eyes, tightens and regenerates the skin of the area, offers rich hydration and "fills" wrinkles. You will immediately feel the skin moisturised and elastic and you will get a visibly young and rested look.

Ingredients: 

Cucumber Extract- Cucumis Sativus Juice

- Anti-aging and hydrating. Thanks to the high water content (95%) and micronutrients in the composition, cucumber helps keep the skin plump and hydrated. It is also a natural astringent, meaning it causes the contraction of skin cells and helps tighten the skin. This minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and slows the aging process.

- Soothing. Cucumber extract has potent calming properties and is known to soothe the skin after irritation, redness and inflammation.

- Antioxidant. Thanks to the added caffeic acid and vitamins C and K, cucumber extract is a powerful antioxidant that helps keep the free radicals at bay. This makes it a great aid in the fight against wrinkles and fine lines.

- Reduces Swelling and Puffiness. Its potent hydrating and soothing properties help reduce any swelling, puffiness and bags under the eyes.

- Refreshing and energizing. It has powerful refreshing and re-energizing properties and can help the appearance of tired, saggy and dull-looking skin.

Retinol (Vitamin A)- Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Phospholipids, Retinol

Retinol, otherwise known as Vitamin A, is an established anti-aging active supported by over 40 years’ worth of research.

It can help to reduce the effects of photo-aging and extrinsic stress on the skin.

Retinol works by increasing cellular turnover, inducing epidermal thickening. These actions result in a minimized appearance of wrinkles, a bolstered skin thickness and the slowing of collagen degradation giving firmer more elastic skin.

In addition retinol can help to lighten hyperpigmentation, or brown spots caused by sun exposure, to even the complexion and improve translucency.

In personal care retinol is often chosen over other retinoid forms, as it exhibits only minimal signs of erythema proving to be an optimal choice when comparing efficacy vs skin irritation.

It is well known that retinol in all forms readily deteriorates when exposed to light and air, so sun exposure is avoided after its use.

The retinol Myrro Skincare uses is encapsulated in liposomes, an advanced technology that helps to improve not only delivery of the retinol, but its stability as well, making it non photo-sensitive.

To sum up, retinol:

- Increases enzyme activity and normalize cell division.

- Rejuvenates and nourishes the skin.

- Stimulates cell renewal.

- Can improve appearance of aged, dry, damaged and blemished skin.

- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Improves general appearance and texture of the skin.

- Reduces flaking, improves collagen production.

- Helps to boost the natural elasticity of the skin.

Blue Lotus- Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract

Also known as Egyptian Lotus or Blue Water Lily, Blue Lotus is an extremely rare oil.

It is indigenous to Egypt and India. It is wild harvested, fairly and organically managed.

It is not steam distilled but with the use of a solvent so as not to damage its delicate flowers.

Squalene, the main chemical component of Blue Lotus is a natural means of moisturising our skin. In addition, the benzyl alcohol that it contains gives a clean, healthy skin.

It smoothens wrinkles, reduces pores and helps improve the appearance of skin, while also providing antioxidant effects.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the aromatherapeutic qualities of the Blue Lotus. It has a calming and soothing effect, promotes sleep and its smell causes feelings of euphoria. It helps in meditation, activates the "third eye" and dispells negative emotions and thoughts.

EYEBRIGHT- Euphrasia Officinalis Extract

Euphrasia is an endemic plant with small white flowers, yellow spots and a black center, somewhat resembling a bloodshot human eye.

Historically, the use of Euphrasia for eye problems was due to the "Signature Theory", a sixteenth century theory that held that a plant's appearance indicated the conditions it could treat.

Euphrasia is traditionally used to treat all kinds of eye conditions including: inflammation, conjunctivitis, red eyes, stye, itchy eyes, and poor vision.

There are certain phytonutrients in this herb that can reduce the symptoms of eye discomfort.

The aucubin found in Euphrasia has an anti-inflammatory effect, soothing tired and inflamed eyes, while the tannins act as astringents to help reduce secretions and relieve inflammation of the mucous membranes. This is especially helpful when dealing with conjunctivitis or blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids).

The flavonoid quercetin, also found in Euphrasia, may benefit spring allergy symptoms (especially runny noses). This phytonutrient is thought to reduce the allergic response by inhibiting the release of histamines.

Euphrasia is also effective against cataracts (inflammation of one or more of the sebaceous glands in the eyelid). It contains caffeic acid whose antiseptic action will fight infection.

It is thought that the antioxidant properties of this herb can help the eye absorb more vitamin A and vitamin C, and it contains the following minerals: zinc, copper, and selenium.
