Dermalex-MD
Product Overview
Dermalex-MD represents another attempt at one of the latest trends in eye treatments: an all-in-one formula that is intended to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye puffiness. While the company that makes Dermalex promises that the formula may improve the texture of skin, it omits any reference to crow’s feet or other types of wrinkles near the eyes. It is hard to believe that this formula truly is “all-in-one.”
Dermalex primarily acts on the capillaries, which are the tiny blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the skin tissue near the eyes. Poor circulation and weakened capillaries, which can result in blood collecting or “pooling” under the eye causes dark circles and puffiness. Weakened capillaries can also affect water retention in the skin, which can thus swell as a result and cause the appearance of puffiness or bags under the eye.
The formula includes several components that are known to improve the strength of the capillary system and promote healthy circulation in the skin tissue near the eye. One of these compounds is Hesperidin, a bioflavonoid derived from citrus fruits. Both Hesperidin and its related compounds, Chrysin, have been used with some success in those with varicose veins. These two nutrients will similarly reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eye.
Dermalex also consist Cucumber extract for additional soothing and calming of the skin tissue. In addition, it contains two types of Palmityl compounds, which can help improve the texture of the skin, as well as vitamin C and vitamin E for added protection.

Dos And Don’t s
You can order the product online and by phone, and Dermalex sells for $59 for a 2-month tube.
The Dermalex-MD web site contains a fair amount of information about the formula, as well as some moderately accurate information about what causes dark circles. A full listing of the ingredients in the formula is included. Also, there are a few customer testimonials posted which are helpful. However, the web site does omit some important information.
There is no information about the company, and some of the information on dark circles is incomplete. They fail to mention other causes of dark circles, including weakened collagen and elastin in the eye, and also do not state that some light diffusers and refractors like Lipolight can further help the appearance of dark circles.
Final Comment
While there are obviously some aspects of Dermalex-MD that suggest this product could indeed help treat the eye area. Most importantly, it cannot be recommended since there is no information about the company that produces and distributes it.
