Allure’s 2009 Editor’s Pick of Best Eye Cream

Eye Silk High Res

Relastin was Allure’s 2009 Editor’s Pick of Best Eye cream.  We had to review and test out this eye cream as we are always on the look­out for an effec­tive eye cream.  This eye cream has lead­ing edge sci­ence behind it.   Even if you are not look­ing for an anti aging eye cream, tell your sis­ter or mother about it.  It really works!

Elastin is the pro­tein in skin that gives it firm­ness, tone and elas­tic­ity.  The skin gets its strength and flex­i­bil­ity from two struc­tures, col­la­gen and elastin.  Collagen and elastin make up 70 per­cent of the der­mis and are impor­tant pro­teins in fight­ing the aging process.  The amount of elastin in the skin usu­ally peeks in ado­les­cence and declines there­after.  This skin pro­tein strength­ens the skin so that dam­age from sun, envi­ron­ment, facial motion such as smil­ing or frown­ing don’t cause as many wrin­kles as in a weaker skin struc­ture.  The elastin mol­e­cules are typ­i­cally too large to be absorbed by the skin but Relastin found a way for the ingre­di­ent to be deliv­ered deeper into the skin.
