Regu®-Age – a New Compound Addresses Dark Circles and Under Eye Bags

Regu-Age complex from Pentapharm contains soy, rice and yeast proteins.

Pentapharm developed Regu-Age specifically to address dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. The developer says it functions by improving microcirculation and protecting the integrity of the collagen and elastin bundle. In addition, the complex is said to reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation on skin.

The skin around the eyes is normally very thin, containing only delicate subcutaneous fatty tissue. As we age it becomes even thinner. In addition to individual genetic disposition, external influences such as UV radiation play a significant part in the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness.

This can be the result of blood retention in upper layers of the skin caused by poor circulation and limited blood flow. If not treated properly, the puffiness and inflammation lead to pressure on fine skin capillaries, resulting in increased damage (dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles) to already weakened connective tissue.

In a double-blind randomized study conducted by Pentapharm, 20 subjects over age 30 with dark puffy under eye bags applied either a 5% Regu-Age cream or placebo twice daily for eight weeks.

A 35% reduction in dark circles and 31% reduction in eye puffiness were observed in the subjects using Regu-Age.

Digital analysis of silicone replicas of the eye area revealed a 42% increase in overall skin smoothness (decrease in wrinkle depth and pore size) for the subjects using Regu-Age.

Subjects applying the placebo exhibited no significant improvement in the same parameters.

It should be noted that only one of the improvements was measured objectively (increased smoothness). Reduction in dark circle and puffiness were observed.

Regu-Age is found in NewPeptin Eye Contour Cream and True Radiance Eye Serum.
