Dermalogica Total Eye Care
Product Overview
Total Eye Care is designed to protect and correct the delicate skin near the eye, and its components are meant to reduce puffiness, decrease the appearance of crow’s feet and diminish dark circles. It attempts to accomplish these feats by a combination of specific components. Total Eye Care relies on Lactic Acid to soothe the eye area skin, and there is some research suggesting this effect. It also contains Sodium PCA to help retain moisture in the eye area, which can help to prevent some of the signs of aging, such as dullness and dryness.
A group of researchers, who founded the International Dermal Institute, started Dermalogica in 1986 in Los Angeles which is a graduate training facility for skincare professionals. Disturbed by the high number of cosmetic companies that used irritating components in their products, including S.D. alcohol, lanolin and others, these researchers created Dermalogica with the intention of providing professionals and their clients safer substitute that still encouraged youthful beauty in the skin. Today, Dermalogica continues to be a top choice for many skincare professionals and is available in healthy and beauty spas around the world. Dermalogica offers a formula specifically for the eye area, which is called Total Eye Care.
Dermalogica Total Eye Care also features three extracts derived from botanical sources to help reduce puffiness and fine lines. These include extracts of Spiraea, Hydrocotyl and Bisabolol. There are some limited researches which suggest that these components can help reduce irritation of skin and promote the reduction of under-eye puffiness, but Dermalogica does not provide this research on its site. The company only states that it uses “light diffusers” to reduce the appearance of dark circles but does not disclose what these ingredients are or any research attesting to their effect on dark circles.
