Product Description
This dark circle correcting cream is specially formulated to brighten and illuminate the delicate skin of your under-eye area with a revitalizing complex vitamin-rich botanicals. Anti-bruising arnica and buddleja extracts diminish blue dark circles caused by hereditary disposition. Vitamins C and E reduce brown circles caused by hyperpigmentation and melisma as they support collagen and neutralize free radicals for a radiant and even appearance.
This is the first product from the brand Lierac which I picked up from Sasa. I was intrigued by their range of eye treatment products that claim to be able to improve the under eye area condition.
Their
website illustrates their expertise in the subject, with every product undergoing a clinical study.
The skin of the eye area is the thinnest and most fragile of the entire face. Squinting and blinking, coupled with hostile factors like ageing, stress and over-exposure to the sun, result in problems like wrinkles, crow's feet, eye bags and dark circles which intensify with age. These threaten the beauty and youthfulness of the eyes. Lierac's specific plant-based formulations effectively treat these problems to restore youthful-looking eyes.
Their claims :
-
Effectively fades and diminishes dark circles
-
Improves poor blood circulation
Formulated with venotonic herbs Arnica and Butcher's Broom, Diopticerne stimulates and improves poor blood circulation which is the cause of dark circles around the eye area. It does not contain alcohol or any animal ingredients.
Active ingredients include the duo of medicinal plants arnica and ruscus which helps to activate the micro-circulation
Arnica : The ultimate remedy for bruises, this plant is very rich in flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and stimulating benefits for the skin tissue.
Lierac depigmenting complex :
stabilized vitamin C + mandresy extracts + micro-algae
Regulate the formation of melanin and of lipofuscine
Mandresy : Botanical extract of mandresy, also called the “butterfly tree” of Madagascar, acts on the synthesis and distribution of melanin to help prevent the appearance of dark spots and the accentuation of dark circles.
Lierac Diopticerne comes in both tinted and non-tinted version and I bought the tinted version so that I can use it over my eye gel. It can act as a corrector and concealer for undereye dark circles.
This double-action cream actively corrects the appearance of both types of dark circles:
- blue circles caused by vascular problems,
- brown circles caused by melanin.
Blue circles: With age or for genetic reasons, blood microcirculation under the eyes becomes less effective. The walls of the blood capillaries, mainly composed of collagen, become slacker. Their distension promotes “venous stasis”, a process that greatly slows “return” blood circulation in the vessels. Sanguine liquid is diffused outside of the vessels, pigmenting the skin.
Brown circles: As the epidermis and dermis under the eyes measure less than 0.6 mm in thickness, excess pigment easily shows through the skin, and particularly the accumulation of melanin pigments in the upper layers of the epidermis, which intensifies the color of dark circles.
To counteract “
blue” circles, this high-power formula uses a duo of medicinal plants – butcherbroom and arnica – widely used and renowned for its “anti-bruising” and stimulating action. For maximum effectiveness, this phytotherapic duo is accompanied by vitamin E, a potent free radical scavenger, which helps to protect the skin against external aggressions.
To counteract “
brown” circles, the exclusive LIERAC depigmenting complex is used: this combination of stabilized vitamin C, mandresy extracts and microalgae has demonstrated its effectiveness in helping lighten the appearance of hyperpigmented areas.
After using this for close to 6 months on a daily morning basis, I cannot find any improvement on my under eye area. It acts almost like a light concealer to me, helping to hide slight shadows under my eyes but once I washed it off, my eyebags and under eye circles remained the same.
There is only 1 shade from the tinted version and thankfully, it blends in well with my skin tone. The texture is of a light consistency unlike a normal concealer but 3 dots on the under eye area does the job just fine.
For such a tiny 5ml tube, it actually lasted me for quite a while since a bit goes a long way. However, note that once its opened, its best to use it within 6 months as stated on the tube. I will not recommend it for those with very dark eye circles, you will be better off with a real concealer.
