Calcium Bonding Eye Cream (15g)

Dr.Melaxin Calcium Bonding Eye Cream is a rich, elasticity-focused eye cream designed to hydrate, temporarily plump and improve the appearance of fine lines, puffiness and tired-looking under-eyes. The formula combines Calcium Gluconate with five clearly named peptides, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Niacinamide, Squalane and nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid. Its nourishing texture helps the delicate eye area look smoother, firmer and more refreshed while supporting long-lasting moisture.

Benefits:

• Supports firmer-looking eye contours: Five peptides, Adenosine, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Hydrolyzed Elastin help improve the appearance of elasticity and sagging-looking skin.
• Temporarily plumps hollow-looking areas: Glycerin, nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid and other humectants replenish surface moisture, helping dehydration-related hollowness and fine lines appear softer.
• Helps smooth fine lines: Adenosine, peptides and intensive hydration support a smoother appearance around the eyes and crow’s-feet area.
• Supports a brighter-looking eye area: Niacinamide helps improve the appearance of dullness and uneven-looking tone for a fresher complexion.
• Provides multi-level hydration: Nine clearly named Hyaluronic Acid forms, Glycerin and Tremella Fuciformis Extract help attract and retain moisture.
• Helps reduce a dry, crepey appearance: Squalane, Coconut Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and fatty alcohols provide emollient care for smoother, softer skin.
• Supports the appearance of elasticity: Hydrolyzed Collagen and Hydrolyzed Elastin condition the skin’s surface and contribute to a temporarily more supple appearance.
• Provides peptide-focused firming care: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-29, Oligopeptide-32 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 support smoother and firmer-looking skin.
• Provides targeted calcium care: Calcium Gluconate is included as part of the product’s calcium-focused positioning and skin-conditioning system.
• Helps restore a rested appearance: Hydration, brightening and smoothing ingredients can help tired-looking under-eyes appear fresher and more revitalized.

Skin Types: Normal • Dry • Dehydrated • Combination • Mature skin • Sensitive skin that tolerates fragrance
Eye Area Concerns: Fine lines • Crow’s feet • Dryness • Dehydration • Loss of firmness • Sagging-looking eye contours • Puffiness • Dullness • Hollow-looking under-eyes caused or emphasized by dehydration

Formula Notes:

• Calcium Bonding Technology: The supplied product information refers to a proprietary Calcium Bonding mechanism. Calcium Gluconate and other mineral-containing ingredients are present, but the exact proprietary technology and its claimed mechanism cannot be independently established from the INCI alone.
• Collagen claims: Hydrolyzed Collagen is clearly present. Topical Collagen primarily hydrates and conditions the skin’s surface and does not replace lost collagen within the dermis.
• Elastin claims: Hydrolyzed Elastin is present and acts primarily as a skin-conditioning and film-forming ingredient. It should not be interpreted as directly replacing the skin’s natural elastin fibres.
• Sunken eye claims: The supplied description states that the cream helps “fill in” sunken eye areas. A cosmetic eye cream cannot physically replace lost volume or structurally fill true tear-trough hollowness, but intensive hydration can temporarily plump the skin and make dehydration-related hollowness appear less pronounced.
• Eye-bag lifting claims: The cream may help the eye contour appear smoother and firmer through hydration, emollient care and elasticity-focused ingredients, but it cannot permanently lift anatomical eye bags or remove underlying fat pads.
• 5-peptide claim: The supplied INCI confirms five clearly named peptides: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-29, Oligopeptide-32 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.
• Hyaluronic Acid complex: Nine clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate are present in the supplied INCI.
• Lavender: Lavandula Stoechas Extract is present. It is a plant extract, not Lavender Essential Oil.
• Fragrance: Fragrance is listed in the supplied INCI, so the eye cream is not fragrance-free.
• Silicones: Vinyl Dimethicone is present and helps provide a smoother skin feel.
• Purple appearance: Cyanocobalamin and Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract are present and may contribute to the formula’s distinctive appearance, although the exact colour system cannot be determined from the INCI alone.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing, toner and serum, take a small amount of eye cream.
2. Dot gently around the orbital area, focusing on areas of dryness, fine lines or loss of firmness.
3. Spread with your ring finger using light tapping motions rather than rubbing or pulling the skin.
4. Avoid applying directly into the eyes or too close to the lash line.
5. Use morning and/or evening according to your skin’s needs.
6. If using in the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen around the exposed eye area where tolerated.
7. If you are prone to milia or find rich eye creams heavy, begin with a very small amount.
8. Discontinue use if persistent stinging, redness or irritation develops.

FAQ:

Q: What does Dr.Melaxin Calcium Bonding Eye Cream do?
A: It hydrates, temporarily plumps and supports firmer-looking skin around the eyes while helping fine lines, dryness, puffiness and tired-looking contours appear improved.

Q: Can it fill sunken under-eyes?
A: It can temporarily plump dehydrated skin and make mild hollowness look softer, but a topical cream cannot replace lost facial volume or physically fill a true tear trough.

Q: Will it permanently remove hollow under-eyes?
A: No. Structural hollowness is influenced by anatomy, fat distribution, bone structure and age. A cosmetic eye cream can improve hydration and surface appearance but cannot permanently restore lost volume.

Q: Can it help eye bags?
A: Hydration and firming-focused ingredients may help the eye contour look smoother and less tired, but the cream cannot remove anatomical fat pads or permanently eliminate eye bags.

Q: Does it help puffiness?
A: It may help puffy-looking eyes appear fresher through hydration and improved skin conditioning, although it does not contain a strong dedicated de-puffing active such as Caffeine.

Q: Does it help dark circles?
A: Niacinamide can help improve dull or uneven-looking tone, which may make some forms of discoloration appear brighter. However, dark circles can also result from blood vessels, shadows, genetics or hollowing, which a cosmetic cream cannot fully correct.

Q: What is Calcium Bonding Technology?
A: Calcium Bonding Technology is the proprietary concept described in the supplied product information. Calcium Gluconate and other mineral-related ingredients are present, but the exact patented or technological mechanism cannot be confirmed from the INCI alone.

Q: Does the eye cream contain Calcium?
A: Yes. Calcium Gluconate is clearly listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Does Calcium rebuild Collagen around the eyes?
A: The supplied marketing information associates Calcium with Collagen support, but the INCI alone does not establish that topical Calcium Gluconate rebuilds dermal Collagen. It is more appropriate to describe it as part of the formula’s skin-conditioning and elasticity-focused system.

Q: Does it contain Collagen?
A: Yes. Hydrolyzed Collagen is listed in the formula.

Q: What does topical Collagen do around the eyes?
A: Hydrolyzed Collagen mainly conditions and hydrates the skin’s surface, helping it feel softer and appear temporarily plumper. It does not replace the skin’s natural Collagen.

Q: Does it contain Elastin?
A: Yes. Hydrolyzed Elastin is clearly listed.

Q: Can topical Elastin rebuild my natural Elastin fibres?
A: No. Hydrolyzed Elastin primarily provides skin-conditioning and film-forming benefits rather than replacing the structural Elastin naturally present within the skin.

Q: How many peptides does the cream contain?
A: The supplied INCI contains five clearly named peptides.

Q: Which five peptides are included?
A: They are Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-29, Oligopeptide-32 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.

Q: Does it contain Copper Peptide?
A: Yes. Copper Tripeptide-1 is listed in the formula.

Q: Is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 the same as Botox?
A: No. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a cosmetic peptide and should not be confused with injectable botulinum toxin. It does not work by medically paralyzing facial muscles.

Q: How many forms of Hyaluronic Acid are included?
A: Nine clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate appear in the supplied INCI.

Q: Which nine Hyaluronic Acid forms are included?
A: They are Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate Dimethylsilanol and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.

Q: Does it contain Lavender?
A: Yes. Lavandula Stoechas Extract is present.

Q: Does it contain Lavender Essential Oil?
A: No Lavender Essential Oil is listed. Lavandula Stoechas Extract is a plant extract and should not automatically be classified as an essential oil.

Q: Is the eye cream fragrance-free?
A: No. Fragrance is clearly listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Does it contain drying alcohol?
A: Ethanol and Alcohol Denat. are not listed. Cetearyl Alcohol is present, but this is a fatty alcohol used for emollient and texture-enhancing purposes rather than a volatile drying alcohol.

Q: Does it contain silicones?
A: Yes. Vinyl Dimethicone is present and helps provide a smoother, silkier skin feel.

Q: Does it contain Squalane?
A: Yes. Squalane is clearly listed and helps soften the skin and reduce moisture loss.

Q: Does it contain Coconut Oil?
A: Yes. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil is the fourth ingredient in the supplied INCI and provides rich emollient care.

Q: Is it suitable for dry under-eyes?
A: Yes. Its combination of Glycerin, nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, Coconut Oil and emollients makes it particularly relevant for dry and dehydrated eye areas.

Q: Is it suitable for mature skin?
A: Yes. The hydrating, peptide, Adenosine, Collagen and Elastin-focused formula is particularly suitable for mature skin concerned with fine lines, dryness and loss of firmness.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive eyes?
A: Sensitive skin may tolerate it, but Fragrance is present. Keep the cream away from the eyes themselves and lash line, and patch test first if you are particularly reactive to fragranced products.

Q: Can it cause milia?
A: No eye cream can be guaranteed not to contribute to milia in every person. Because this formula contains Coconut Oil and other rich emollients, people who are particularly prone to milia may prefer to use a very small amount and avoid applying too close to the lash line.

Q: Can acne-prone skin use it?
A: Yes, if tolerated. The product is used on a small eye-area surface rather than as an acne treatment, and individual response to richer emollients such as Coconut Oil varies.

Q: Does it contain Retinol or Retinal?
A: No Retinol, Retinal or other clearly identified retinoid is listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Can I use it every day?
A: Yes. It can generally be used daily if your skin tolerates the formula well.

Q: Can I use it morning and night?
A: Yes. Apply a small amount in both morning and evening routines according to your hydration needs.

Q: When should I apply eye cream in my routine?
A: Apply it after cleansing, toner and serum. It can be used before or alongside your facial moisturizer, followed by sunscreen in the morning.

Q: How much eye cream should I use?
A: A small amount is sufficient for both eye areas. Applying more does not necessarily increase the firming or plumping effect and may feel heavy.

Q: Can I apply it directly on my eyelids?
A: Unless the manufacturer’s packaging specifically directs eyelid application, use it around the orbital area and avoid getting the product directly into the eyes.

Q: Can I use it under makeup?
A: Yes. Use a thin layer and allow it to absorb before concealer or foundation to help minimize slipping or pilling.

Q: Can I use it with Retinol or Retinal?
A: Yes. The eye cream itself does not contain a retinoid. If you use a separate Retinol or Retinal eye product, introduce the combination carefully to avoid irritation around the delicate eye area.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C?
A: Yes. It can generally be used alongside Vitamin C products, particularly when the Vitamin C is applied to the face before the eye cream.

Q: Can I use it with peptides?
A: Yes. The cream already contains five peptides, so an additional peptide eye product is generally unnecessary unless it serves another specific purpose.

Q: Can I use it during pregnancy?
A: No commonly avoided retinoid ingredient is listed in the supplied INCI. Anyone with pregnancy-specific medical concerns about individual cosmetic ingredients should still discuss their routine with their doctor.

Q: Where can I buy Dr.Melaxin skincare in Cyprus?
A: You can find Dr.Melaxin Calcium Bonding Eye Cream at Just Cosmetics, together with a curated selection of Korean Cosmetics in Cyprus.
