Recommendations for Under-Eye Care and Pore Tightening

Question

I have concerns about wrinkles and dark circles around my eyes, as well as enlarged pores next to my nose. Could you recommend ingredients or types of products that can help address these issues? I am interested in ready-to-use formulations. I also heard about Salicylic Acid (BHA) for pore tightening, but I'm unsure about its compatibility with other ingredients like peptides in ready-to-use products.

Recommendations for Under-Eye Gel and Pore Tightening

For concerns regarding dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes, as well as enlarged pores on the skin next to the nose, you can choose ready-to-use products containing active ingredients that help address these issues.

For the Eye Area (Reducing Dark Circles and Wrinkles)

Look for products containing:

  • REGU®-AGE: Helps reduce dark circles, under-eye bags, and strengthens the skin around the eyes.
  • Pep®-Eye (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5): A peptide that helps reduce dark circles and under-eye bags.
  • Orange Peel Extract (Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone): Helps stimulate blood circulation to reduce under-eye dark circles and has antioxidant properties. Works well when used with Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3).
  • Dipeptide-2: Helps inhibit the enzyme that causes under-eye puffiness, thus helping to reduce under-eye bags and dark circles.

These ingredients are often found in eye care products in gel, serum, or cream formats.

For Pore Tightening (Area next to the Nose)

For enlarged pores, you can choose products containing ingredients that help cleanse and tighten pores, such as:

  • Witch Hazel: A natural extract that helps soothe and tighten pores. Often found in toner products.
  • PoreNin™ (Natural Extracted Tannic Acid): Pure Tannic Acid extracted from green tea, which helps tighten pores and acts as an antioxidant.

Consistent use of products containing these ingredients can help address the skin concerns you have.
