Anti-Dark Circles Wake-Up Gel 6 ml

Stimulating wake-up gel against dark circles. The anti-dark circles gel combats puffiness, bluish dark circles, and tired-looking eyes.

This water-based eye contour gel contains invigorating caffeine, which stimulates blood and lymph circulation and reduces swelling. Lotus is used as a complementary active ingredient that activates microcirculation and fights bluish dark circles and under-eye bags, while cornflower hydrosol soothes and revitalizes the eye area.

• Natural caffeine derived from coffee beans acts as a stimulant, activates cell metabolism, and promotes the breakdown of fat cells. Caffeine improves blood circulation, allowing cells to be supplied more effectively with oxygen and nutrients. Its vasoconstrictive effect helps reduce congestion. This profile makes caffeine an excellent partner in eye care.
• Lotus is rich in vitamins and flavonoids, including rutin, a molecule known for its anti-aging effects. It is a leading active ingredient for reactivating microcirculation and combating blue dark circles and redness. Thanks to its vascular protective properties, rutin also helps reduce under-eye bags.
• Blue cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower) Flower Extract) contains tannins, flavonoids, bitter substances, and anthocyanins, which have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Traditionally, cornflower extract is used to soothe inflamed and irritated skin, especially showing its effectiveness in treating tired and swollen eyes.
• Brown algae extract contains a high concentration of antioxidants, trace elements such as iodine, zinc, potassium, or beta-carotene, and bioactive compounds like alginic acid, ascorbic acid, or carotenoids. These bioactive components support cell renewal and promote clear, smooth, and soft skin.

The invigorating and moisturizing eye contour care is applied as the first step of the skincare routine before day or night care.

Active Ingredients

• Knotweed algae / brown algae contains a high concentration of antioxidants, trace elements such as iodine, zinc, potassium, or beta-carotene, and bioactive compounds like alginic acid, ascorbic acid, or carotenoids. These bioactive components support cell renewal and promote clear, smooth, and soft skin. Antioxidants help combat damage caused by free radicals, and the amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in brown seaweed stimulate elastin and collagen production.
• Caffeine – natural caffeine derived from coffee beans acts as a stimulant, activates cell metabolism, and promotes the breakdown of fat cells. Caffeine improves blood circulation, allowing cells to be supplied more effectively with oxygen and nutrients. Caffeine is used in cosmetics to combat uneven fat cell distribution, which leads to uneven skin known as cellulite or "orange peel skin." It is also used in shampoos, where it stimulates the activity of hair follicle cells.
• Lotus flower/seed extract (Lotus Flower (Nelumbo Nucifera)) is rich in vitamins and contains proteins, tannins, and flavonoids. The plant helps fight oxidative stress and improves skin hydration. Lotus has balancing and soothing effects, normalizes sebum production, strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, and thus protects against harmful environmental stressors. This beautiful aquatic plant was used in ancient India for queens’ beauty baths and has a long tradition as an active ingredient in medicine and cosmetics in Asia.
• Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates and can reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots. It also has the ability to shrink large pores and revive dull, uneven skin tone.
• Antioxidants are chemical compounds that prevent or slow down oxidation processes in the body/skin. Antioxidants counteract so-called free radicals, which are unstable and reactive molecules missing an electron. These missing particles are stolen from healthy body cells, damaging them. This process is called oxidation. Antioxidants provide these aggressive molecules with the missing electron, neutralizing them. When the concentration of free radicals in the body is very high, it is called oxidative stress. This leads to cell damage that the body cannot easily repair on its own. Prolonged oxidative stress can impair the skin’s natural regeneration ability, accelerate aging, and promote wrinkle formation. Smoking, alcohol, UV radiation, medications, as well as psychological stress and excessive exercise can increase oxidative stress. Antioxidants are found in vitamins, trace elements, enzymes, and secondary plant substances.
• Blue cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower) Flower Extract) contains tannins, flavonoids, bitter substances, and anthocyanins, which have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Traditionally, cornflower extract is used to soothe inflamed and irritated skin, especially showing its effectiveness in treating tired and swollen eyes.
• The essential oils of peppermint and green mint soothe the scalp and remove deposits. Mint has anti-inflammatory effects, helps against itching, and prevents dandruff. It has a cooling effect and stimulates blood circulation.
