RELUMINS Incredibly Bright Eyes On-the-Go. Herbal Under Eye Serum

"In this study, we have demonstrated the effects of Pfaffia paniculata /Ptychopetalum olacoides/ Lilium candidum-associated compound (PPLAC) as dermocosmetically active in the clinical improvement in periorbital hyperchromia.  The instrumental evaluation, using a spectrophotometric colorimeter, showed significant improvements in skin tone and luminance in the periorbital area after the topical application of PPLAC for 28 days. These clinical observations were also confirmed by the volunteers reporting reduced intensity and improved appearance of ‘‘dark circles.’’ In addition, considering the contribution of microinflammatory process on hemodynamic stasis, in vitro studies were performed to investigate the antiinflammatory and antioxidant effects of this compound in human keratinocyte culture. We observed a significant dose-dependent decrease in the production of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, and histamine in the groups incubated with PPLAC, under basal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated conditions. Similarly, in both these conditions, PPLAC also stimulated the synthesis of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD)."
