Mary & May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream 12G

Description

This eye cream is designed with a focus on two key brightening ingredients:

• Tranexamic Acid (1,000 ppm): A well-regarded ingredient for addressing hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, which is the pigment responsible for dark spots and dark circles. This helps to reduce existing discoloration and prevent new ones from forming, leading to a more even and brighter skin tone.
• Glutathione (1,000 ppm): A powerful antioxidant and a key component in skin brightening. Glutathione helps to neutralize free radicals that can contribute to skin aging and dullness. More importantly, it interferes with the melanin production pathway, helping to lighten dark areas and provide an overall luminous effect. Its excellent stability in formulation ensures its efficacy.

The synergy between Tranexamic Acid and Glutathione is a core strength of this eye cream, as they work together to block melanin formation and reduce oxidative stress that can lead to skin discoloration.

Beyond these two main actives, the formula often includes:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that further enhances brightening, improves skin barrier function, and can help with overall skin texture and tone.
• Vitamin C (often in a stable derivative form): A potent antioxidant that aids in collagen production, improves skin blemishes, and contributes to overall skin radiance.
• Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, providing essential hydration to the delicate eye area.
• Beeswax and Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin): These ingredients contribute to the creamy, rich texture and help to lock in moisture, ensuring the eye area stays hydrated and supple.

The cream has a rich yet easily absorbed texture that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. Mary & May is known for its “clean beauty” approach, meaning this eye cream is typically formulated with EWG green grade ingredients, and is free from common irritants like parabens, artificial fragrances and colors, alcohol, mineral oil, surfactants, and allergens. It is also cruelty-free and dermatologically tested, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Regular use of this eye cream aims to:

• Intensively brighten dark circles and reduce their appearance.
• Improve uneven skin tone and target blemishes around the eye contour.
• Provide antioxidant protection.
• Enhance overall skin radiance and a more refreshed look.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse and Tone: After cleansing your face, apply your regular toner.
2. Dispense a Small Amount: Squeeze a small amount of the eye cream onto your ring finger. A pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for both eyes.
3. Gently Apply: Gently dot the cream around the orbital bone (the bone surrounding your eye), including under the eyes, at the outer corners (for crow’s feet), and just below the brow bone. Avoid applying too close to the lash line or directly on the eyelids.
4. Pat for Absorption: Using your ring finger, gently pat and tap the cream into your skin until it is fully absorbed. Avoid rubbing or pulling the delicate skin.
5. Frequency: Can be used both morning and night as part of your daily skincare routine. For intensive treatment, you can apply a slightly larger amount in your evening routine.
6. Follow with Moisturizer: After the eye cream, continue with your facial moisturizer and any other skincare steps.
7. Sun Protection (Morning Use): While these ingredients are generally not photosensitizing in the way retinoids can be, it’s always good practice to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen if using in the morning, especially to prevent further pigmentation.
