This active complex combines Unisooth™ EG-28 with Biophytex™ to specifically regulate silent inflammation (“InflammAging”), microcirculation disorders and skin stress, with a special focus on the sensitive eye area.
Unisooth™ EG-28 contains a combination of three highly active gallate derivatives:
Epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside (EGCG-G) from green tea
Gallyl glucosides from oak leaves
Propyl gallate, known as a lipoxygenase inhibitor with strong antioxidant effects
These molecules not only have a long-term effect at the cellular level, but also noticeably soothe irritated skin within minutes. Studies show:
• -15% redness within 2 hours of irritation
-23% transepidermal water loss (TEWL measurement)
• Visible reduction of dark circles after 15 days (noticeable reduction of pigmentation, swelling & microcirculatory congestion)
The complex has a biological effect via:
1. Inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway → Reduction of IL-8 & CXCL1
2. Promotes lymphatic drainage (VEGFR3) → less edema around the eyes
3. Vasorelaxation (relaxation of blood vessels to improve microcirculation) through HO-1 activation (activation of the cell's own protective system, Heme Oxygenase 1, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and vasodilating effects) → better microcirculation, less blood congestion
This triple action makes gallates ideal active ingredients against the underlying causes of dark circles, sensitive skin and stress-related redness, even in younger skin types.
This active ingredient complex also specifically targets microcirculation, vascular strength, inflammation reduction, and the protection of sensitive skin, thus calming the skin. It combines extracted active ingredients from horse chestnut, ruscus, centella, calendula, licorice root, and yeast, rich in saponins and flavonoids that strengthen the skin structure, reduce redness, and visibly harmonize the complexion.
The finest blood capillaries in the skin are particularly susceptible to microstress, whether from UV radiation, environmental factors, hormonal changes, or lack of sleep. If these capillaries become permeable or fragile, blood components can leak out and accumulate in the tissues. The result: dark circles under the eyes, redness, rosacea (visibly dilated blood vessels, usually in the cheek and nose area, fine, permanently visible blood vessels on the face, typically in sensitive or irritated skin), or a dull, uneven complexion.
These effects make Biophytex™ the ideal duo with Unisooth™ EG-28: While Unisooth specifically inhibits inflammatory cytokine axes and stimulates lymph flow, Biophytex stabilizes structural vascular functions and supports the tolerance of reactive skin, especially in the sensitive eye and cheek area.
This combination is particularly recommended for those prone to redness, dark circles, sensitive or irritated skin, and for those who wish to promote microcirculation in the long term to maintain an even, fresh complexion. It is very often especially suitable for men's skin.
