Active Ingredients in Eye Wrinkle Cream

Many over-the-counter products moisturize the skin’s surface without treating the root causes of aging. Extensive scientific research has led to the discovery of skin care ingredients that not only moisturize skin, but also treat inflammation, the underlying cause of aging. This article will discuss the following ingredients:

Microspheres

Microspheres are made from polyethylene and pigmented to an exact color and opacity. The spheres are available in a wide range of sizes and are sold as an easily mixable powder.

An eye wrinkle cream with microspheres can provide maximum hiding power with just a single, thin, feather-light layer. Microspheres minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by both filling them and scattering light, instantly providing flawless, smooth skin.

Fullerenes

Fullerenes are highly stable, microscopic, hollow carbon balls that function as a potent reservoir for the transport of nutrients to the skin. Fullerenes, which are also known as buckyballs because of their shape, deliver active ingredients to the skin for high performance anti-aging skin care.

Specifically, fullerenes work to deliver antioxidant protection to the skin, calm and soothe skin, and reduce the appearance of skin imperfections.

Beta Glucans

Glucans are polysaccharides that contain only glucose as structural components, and can be linked by either alpha- or beta-glycosidic bonds. These six-sided rings can be connected to one another in a variety of positions, and attract hydration and bind moisture to the skin.

An eye wrinkle cream formulated with Beta Glucans will help keep the delicate eye area skin moisturized.

DMAE

DMAE aids with the synthesis of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Because acetylcholine carries messages from nerves to muscles, an eye wrinkle cream with DMAE stimulates muscle tone behind the eye area to firm and tone skin. DMAE also helps the skin to renew itself and maintain a healthy moisture balance.
