How to remove dark circles from under the eyes

December 21, 2011 | by: Admin

CResults Eye cream has proven to reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eyes and other pigmentation changes on the skin. This may be due to Manuka Honey being rich in natural Hydrogen Peroxide.  CResults is low allergy, non irritating and reduces puffiness. This is an active eye cream that really makes a difference.


Hot off the press:  Quote from the Aesthetics Practitioners Journal 2011 “Current research at the University of Auckland has revealed that specific blends of Manuka Honey contains active compounds that help slow the signs of ageing.”
“The active compound in Manuka honey is believde to be Phenolic acid. Studies have provided evidence that Phenolic acid works by inhibiting the activity of a group of enzymes called MMPs matrix metalloproteinases which are capable of degrading collagen in the skin. These MMPs compromise the human immune system when inflammation is expressed.  We know that skin ageing is caused by both chronological ageing and photo-ageing. We also know that sun exposure up regulates the MMPs that leads to a loss of collagen.  Phenolic acid acts as a direct inhibitor of MMPs by binding to these proteins and enzymes.
Manuka honey has shown positive results against wound healing with specific challenging bacteria such as methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus MRSA.  Manuka Honey also has a very strong anti-inflammatory factor.  Ageing skin has typically ongoing low grade inflammation; the outcome of this is wrinkles, which are accelerated because of this underlying inflammation. Phenolic acid in Manuka Honey has shown to also provide anti-inflammatory properties. Minimizing inflammation will assist the skin by supporting moisture retention, minimizing dryness and helping preserve the skins elasticity.”
