Review of Eclat Eye Treatment Gel – Dark Circle Treatment

[You’ll find the Eclat Eye Treatment Gel ingredient list in yesterday’s post.]

It may appear that this product does not contain much of an anti-aging peptide cocktail since the ingredient list only shows Palmitoyl Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser (Matrixyl collagen stimulating peptide).

However, Haloxyl developed by Sederma to treat dark eye circles contains Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (collagen stimulating peptide) and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (anti-sag peptide) in addition to (non-peptide ingredients) Chrysin and Hydroxysuccinimide.

The combination of ingredients in Haloxyl activates the elimination of blood originated pigments responsible for dark circles and inflammation around the eyes, as well as reinforces and tones eye area skin.

Sederma’s clinical study for Haloxyl produced a decrease in dark eye circles of 19% on average (and up to 45%) as measured by computer image analysis of change in skin color around the eyes.

A little color theory may help to understand how skin color change can be measured and quantified. Dark eye circles are caused by blue and red undertones. The complement (or opposite) color to blue is yellow and the complement to red is green.

A reduction in dark eye circle color would mean both a change away from blue toward yellow and a change away from red toward green. Subjects in the study experienced a 19.5% reduction in red and a 19% reduction in blue on average.

Finally, Eclat contains Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), the most powerful skin hydrating agent available, to moisturize and support the skin’s intercellular matrix.

I give Eclat Eye Treatment Gel two thumbs up for dark eye circles.

Tomorrow we’ll look at UNT Age Erase Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream.
