HALOXYL™
HALOXYL™ a new ingredient from Sederma based on a matrikine™ complex, targets the underlying cause of dark circles to prevent excessive formation of these pigmented by-products and diminish their unsightly appearance around the eyes.
The skin under the eyes is very thin and highly vascularized and susceptible to discoloration. When this happens, unsightly dark circles can develop, and left untreated, can even become permanent.
The cause is not lack of sleep as many once assumed, but fragile vessels under the eyes that leak hemoglobin. As hemoglobin breaks down, pigmented degradation products form and accumulate in the dermis and epidermis. The violet tinge that shows through the skin is a telltale sign of their presence and creates the peri-orbital rings seen around the eyes.
In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the ability of HALOXYL™ to:
Enhance the skin’s own capacity to eliminate pigmented by-products of hemoglobin
Increase skin density to better support the microvascular network around the eyes
Alleviate inflammation which can lead to vessel fragility
