Product Information
An intensive eye serum that expertly targets dark circles and puffiness while addressing fine laugh lines around the eye area. Perfectly created with optimum concentrations to effectively address the three most common eye concerns; puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. Suitable for all ages this eye product delivers, a firmer, brighter eye area with a reduction in wrinkles.
There are four main triggers of Dark Circles
- Lymphatic – poor drainage creates a build up of fluids and this is what creates the dark circles. Caffeine + Peptides can assist.
- Muscular – when there has been a substantial amount of fat loss in the face area the muscles in the peri-orbital muscles become visible. These muscles are brown and can present as dark circles. Product application cannot assist.
- Pigmentation -as a result of over active melanocytes. In this case 2% Alpha Arbutin + Hyperbrite Complex can assist.
- Vascular – Vasodilation can occur which creates dark circles. Product application cannot assist.

2% Ceramide + GABA
R70.00 – R320.00Product Information
Replaces depleted ceramides to preserve the skin’s protective layer which prevents the loss of moisture, shields the skin from environmental aggressors and fights against premature ageing. Ceramides make up 50% of the skin’s lipid content and therefore form a major part of the protective layer of the skin which can deplete with age, over exfoliation and environmental aggressions. This depletion of ceramides presents as dry, flaky, sensitive skin. 2% Ceramide + GABA replaces depleted ceramides in the skin for optimal barrier protection.The Mix Of Ingredients
Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Propylene Glycol, Ceramide, Hydroxypropyl Bisstearamide MEA, Polyglycerol-10-stearate, Cholesteryl Isostearate, Squalane, Sucrose stearate, Tricaprylin, Aminobutyric Acid, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Polysaccharide, Cetearyl Alcohol, Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin. SKIN functional strives to continuously bring you the best product and therefore there may be formulation updates which may result in the ingredient list on the website and carton differing.Key ingredient
[su_list class="ingredients" icon=""]- Ceramides
Are produced naturally by the skin, however they become depleted over time as we age. Specifically, after age 20, the body produces fewer ceramides at a loss of one percent per year. Maintaining ceramide levels in the skin plays an essential role in managing dryness, dehydration and premature signs of ageing.

Akhona –
I sleep on one side of my face and have a very noticeable line under my eye. I have been applying this product twice a day for the last two months and I can see a noticeable difference in the line. It is less noticeable and I have fewer fine lines under both eyes. Would highly recommend this product. I absolutely cant live without this product.
