SkinCeuticals releases A.G.E. Advanced Eye for skin aging around eyes

04 Oct 2023 --- SkinCeuticals has launched A.G.E. Advanced Eye, a “next-generation corrective eye cream” to help reverse visible signs of aging impacted by glycation and collagen decline.

A.G.E. Advanced Eye targets the delicate skin around the eyes, helping to reinforce the skin matrix integrity and “immediately” brighten the eye area.

Glycation is a key factor of the natural aging process that occurs when excess sugars in the body bind to structural proteins, like collagen, and form damaging molecules known as Advanced Glycation End-Products (A.G.E.s). A.G.E.s cause collagen to become weak and brittle, accelerating visible signs of aging in the skin.

As collagen decline is most obvious in thinner tissue, the delicate skin around the eye area is particularly susceptible to glycation-related aging, which manifests as crow's feet, crepiness and under-eye laxity.

The new launch comes after the introduction of the A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced skin cream within the SkinCeuticals portfolio (Image credit: SkinCeuticals).“The skin around the eyes is significantly thinner than the skin across the rest of our face, making it more susceptible to signs of glycation-related aging, such as crow’s feet and under-eye crepiness,” remarks SkinCeuticals partner physician, Dr. Sherry Ingraham. 

“Maintaining a youthful look around the delicate eye area is a prominent concern in my practice. I recommend A.G.E. Advanced Eye as twice daily homecare to all my patients, especially those receiving cosmetic treatments around the eye.”

The brand has been pioneering anti-glycation skincare since 2008 and recently expanded its glycation-combating portfolio with its previous launch, A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced.

Formulated for all skin types
A.G.E. Advanced Eye features a rich, silky texture that’s suitable for all skin types and tones.

“The launch of A.G.E. Advanced Eye harnesses more than 15 years of glycation expertise,” explains Angela Hildebrand, general manager of SkinCeuticals US.

Its new three-pronged ingredient technology includes 4.25% wild fruit flavonoids and 0.2% glycyrrhetinic acid to help correct and defend against glycation, 7.5% concentrated proxylane and 3% matrixyl 3000 to support skin matrix integrity, and 0.5% caffeine and 0.8% inclusive optical effects to instantly reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness and brighten the eye area. 

A thorough dossier of clinical testing was completed to demonstrate the efficacy of A.G.E. Advanced Eye, revealing immediate and eight-week results.
