" The skin around the eyes is subjected to constant movements including the approximately 20,000 eye blinks per day."
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on our entire body hence the blood vessels can easily show through the skin. The structure of the skin around the eyes is lacking in oil glands, collagen and elastin. The area is also subjected to constant movements including the approximately 20,000 eye blinks per day. These all contribute to the vulnerability of the area to signs of ageing including dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, lost of firmness and elasticity.

Niacinamide Tones and Firms Up The Skin
Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin B3 that has the ability to stimulate blood circulation and protect skin cells from environmental damage. The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the skin on the rest of our face hence it is more prone to irritation. Not all active skincare ingredients are suitable for the skin around the eyes. Unlike retinol (vitamin A) and niacin (other form of vitamin B3) that can be very irritating for the skin, niacinamide soothes and calms sensitive skin.
Studies showed that niacinamide strengthens skin's barrier function and boosts the amount of fatty acids and ceramides in the skin by up to 67%. When apply topically, it strengthens the skin's defence against external aggressors including pollution, UV lights and harsh weather conditions. Niacinamide helps restore the skin's moisture levels. It protects the skin from irritation, dryness and dehydration.
Studies also showed that topical application of niacinamide increases the production of various skin's proteins including collagen and elastin by up to 100%. Niacinamide tones and firms up the appearance of the skin. It is suitable for all skin types from oily to very dry skin.
How to Prevent and Reduce the Signs of Ageing Around The Eyes
Due to its fragile structure, the skin around the eyes is vulnerable to wrinkles, lines, UV-damage and all other signs of ageing. To help prevent and reduce the signs of ageing around the eyes including puffiness, pigmentation and dark circles, opt for an eye cream that contains niacinamide and n-acetyl glucosamine like Bio-Collagen Ageless Cream. N-acetyly glucosamine is a wrinkle-reducing and skin-brightening peptide extracted from the outer shells of shellfish. Studies showed that n-acetyl glucosamine works synergistically with niacinamide to prevent and reduce the appearance of dark pigmentation spots, wrinkles and lines.
" Bio-Collagen Ageless Cream was born from a request from my customer for the best possible anti-ageing cream. Now it is the only cream I use on my skin, day and night."
