Contains Chrysin, a naturally occurring flavonoid found in a wide variety of plants, which stimulates the re-absorption and drainage of accumulated bilirubin in vascular pigmented dark circles.
With N-hydroxysuccinimide, in vitro studies confirm its chelating capacity to form a complex with iron and thus facilitate its elimination. In addition, NHS accelerates the rate of haemoglobin degradation, causing the dark pigmentation to fade as the blood is drained.
Oligopeptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 and acetyl tetrapeptide-5) promote the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the deeper layers of the skin, with decongestant and draining properties, reducing fluid retention.
It is highly moisturizing, thanks to graphene, Porphyridium cruentum red microalgae extract, rice amylopectin (Oryza sativa var.glutinosa) and Lithothamnion calcareum red algae extract (obtained through a sustainable process).
Benefits
- It treats and prevents the main problems of the periocular area: puffiness, pigmented vascular dark circles (bluish, purplish, reddish), wrinkles and dehydration.
- With a draining, anti-inflammatory and soothing action, it activates microcirculation and reduces fluid retention (bags).
- Detoxifying and chelating action on iron helps to eliminate pigments of blood origin (bilirubin and iron accumulated in the oedematous sac).
- Anti-wrinkle firming action: stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, reducing wrinkles, expression lines and "crow's feet".
- With its " pro-dermis " action, it promotes cell renewal.
- The Eye Contour gives intense moisture, helping to keep and strengthen the skin's barrier function and hydrolipidic film.
- Suitable for all skin types.
How to use
- Cleanse the skin with AcquaGraph Moisturizing Micellar Cleansing Toner.
- Apply a moderate amount of product daily, morning and night, to the periocular area. With the tip of your finger, gently massage with light touches from the tear duct to the outside of the eye until completely absorbed.
- Use after AcquaGraph Vitamin C antiOX booster serum and before any cream from the AcquaGraph cosmetic line. Do not rinse.
When to use
Apply in the morning and/or evening.

Efficacy in increasing natural ceramide production (protective lipid layer of the skin)
+58% In vitro efficacy - Oedematous bags and pigmented vascular dark circles
Ex vivo study, with explants from a 54-year-old woman. Once a day, 6 days.
The formation of pigmented vascular dark circles is due to an accumulation of haemoglobin and its derivatives (bilirubin, biliverdin and iron) in the dermis and epidermis.
In vitro studies carried out:
- Demonstration of the ability of N-hydroxysuccinimide to solubilize iron and thus facilitate its removal
- Demonstration of the ability of chrysin to stimulate the expression of the UGT1 A1 gene that activates the UGT bilirubin enzyme (determined by RT-PCR) which enables bilirubin clearance.
- The joint anti-inflammatory action of both active ingredients, by decreasing the release of PGE2 by keratinocytes and fibroblasts after UV irradiation
