Dermalogica Smart Eye Density Serum

Dermalogica has launched the Smart Eye Density Serum, an eye treatment that targets under-eye hollowness, thinning skin and loss of density around the eyes. The serum rebuilds structural support in the under-eye area, which thins and loses volume with age, visibly plumping, firming and brightening the skin while reducing the appearance of hollows, fine lines and dark circles. It works with the skin's own renewal process to restore a fuller, more resilient-looking eye contour over time.

At the centre of the formula is a growth factor complex, delivered through an oleosomal encapsulation system that carries the actives into the skin's surface for targeted delivery. This is paired with dehydrated hyaluronic acid microspheres that expand on contact to give immediate hydration and a fuller look, mechanobiology-inspired rye seed extract to support skin tone and elasticity, and niacinamide to brighten and strengthen the moisture barrier. Polyglutamic acid and sweet potato root extract with CoQ10 further target hydration and the appearance of dark circles. The formula may contain soy and seed allergens.

In an independent clinical study, 33 subjects applied the serum twice daily over eight weeks, with results seen from four weeks. It is applied morning and night, tapped gently along the orbital bone from the inner corner outward.

The eye area is a logical target for a density treatment: the skin here is up to 40 per cent thinner than the rest of the face and contains fewer collagen, elastin and fat cells, so fatigue, discolouration, volume loss and the signs of ageing tend to appear there first.

Dermalogica is a professional skincare brand founded in 1986 and now part of Unilever, long established in salon and spa skin treatment.

The Smart Eye Density Serum is priced at £125 for 15ml and is available now at stockists nationwide.
