JuvenEye CLR™

Based on a synergistic combination of extracts of Hieracium pilosella and the flowers of Bellis perennis, JuvenEye CLR™ addresses the most important dermatological processes in the formation and persistence of dark circles. It activates vital processes which allow for the breakdown of heme, which is both dark-colored and plays an important role in the etiology of dark circles. JuvenEye CLR™ also activates dermal draining, through its ability to increase the production of VEGF-C. Excess fluids, electrolytes and immune cells are drained away more effectively. With JuvenEye CLR™ melanin deposition in the skin is reduced and overall skin health is improved. In in vivo studies where JuvenEye CLR™ was compared with a corresponding placebo-formulation it could be seen that JuvenEye CLR™ clearly reduces the visibility of dark circles. Both the color and the surface area of dark circles were reduced significantly.
