Naturally, the skin around our eyes is thinner than the rest of the skin on your face. Unfortunately, as we age our skin gets thinner. This is due to the fact that as we age the layer underneath our outer layer of the skin reduces. As a result, our skin loses the levels of collagen and elastin it once had and can become more apparent around our eyes. There are many reasons as to why the skin around our eyes can look darker than the rest of our skin. However, this is the primary cause for the creation of fine lines and wrinkles, not only in your skin in general about around your eyes.
The Ultra+ Collagen Eye Rescue Therapy aims to stimulate collagen synthesis and skin repair whilst rejuvenating tired, dull and droopy eyes. This Eye Rescue Therapy is enriched in powerful ingredients specifically chosen for the eye area. These include Collagen, Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid.
The Science
Collagen works as an important building block for elasticity and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. “Collagen gives our skin its plumpness,” says Dr Wechsler. “We start to lose collagen probably around age 18, actually—it starts to slowly diminish.”
Whilst Retinol aims to visibly increase firmness while contributing to improving significantly uneven skin tone for a mattified complexion. “Also known as Retinol, Vitamin A can help increase the appearance of firmness, diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, significantly improve uneven skin tone, smooth and finally refine the surface of the skin as well. Retinol is definitely a powerful multi-tasker,” says Linda Blahr.
Besides, Hyaluronic Acid added to the formula aims to provide intensive hydration to the skin. "It has been estimated that hyaluronic acid (HA) can hold up to one thousand times its own weight in water molecules," says Dr. Justine Kluk.

How do I get the most out of it?
It is essential to apply in a light tapping motion with the ring finger, which applies the least pressure to the delicate under-eye area.
1. You want to dot the eye cream under your eye, moving from inner to lower eyelid and extending to the outer corner
2. If the cream has not fully absorbed into the skin, follow up with a gentle patting motion with your ring finger to allow the cream to penetrate more deeply into the skin
#AbleTips: applying light pressure on the corner of your eyes with your ring finger after applying cream will tone and reinforce eye area.
