Dark Circle Reduction
The “No Dark Circle Reduction” claim on skincare products refers to the product’s efficacy in reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. This claim suggests that the product contains ingredients specifically formulated to target hyperpigmentation, improve blood circulation, and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes. Typically, such products may include brightening agents, peptides, and other nourishing components that work together to lighten dark circles and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Consumers seeking solutions for tired, dull-looking eyes often look for this claim as a sign that the product can effectively address their concerns and deliver visible results.

Biomarker Testing List:
| Biomarker | Scientific Pathway Details | Used to Prove Claims |
|---|---|---|
| Melanin level | The amount of melanin pigment in the skin, determining skin color and providing protection against UV radiation. | Skin lightening, brightening, even skin tone |
| (IL-6) | A cytokine that signals through the JAK/STAT3 pathway, mediating inflammation, acute-phase reactions, and immune responses. | Anti-inflammatory, soothing, anti-redness |
| Collagen Type I | The most abundant collagen in the body, forming strong fibrils that provide tensile strength to skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues. | Anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, skin firming |
| (MMPs) | Zinc-dependent proteases that degrade extracellular matrix components, involved in tissue remodeling, inflammation, and cancer metastasis. | Anti-aging, skin protection |
| Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) | Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) maintains skin hydration by attracting and binding water through its components, such as amino acids and urea, in the stratum corneum. | Hydration, moisturizing, improving skin barrier function, and preventing dryness. |
Scientific Driven with our Technology:
Using our expertise in immunology and cell culture, we develop immunoassays based on ELISA principle. Using cutting edge tools like 3D tissues (some of which are OECD approved for skin / cornea irritation), we bring the human experimentation into the labs. Curating a list of research publications, we have developed a platform to test products for their biomarkers mimicking the human model to generate data to back our label claims.
