Dark circles, also commonly known as "panda eyes," are caused by frequently staying up late, emotional instability, eye fatigue and aging. The flow rate of venous blood is too slow, leading to insufficient oxygen supply for red blood cells in the skin around the eyes. There's an accumulation of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste in the veins, forming chronic hypoxia. This makes the blood darker and causes stagnation, resulting in pigmentation around the eyes.
There are two types of dark circles: one is bluish-purple, which is due to the retention of venous blood in micro-vessels; the other is brownish, caused by incomplete generation and metabolism of melanin.
Traditional methods for removing dark circles have certain disadvantages. Besides hereditary factors, the causes of dark circles and eye bags can be attributed to poor blood circulation and melanin deposition around the eyes. There are many ways to remove dark circles, such as beauty treatments, using hormone-based drugs and cosmetics, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. However, these traditional methods have certain risks and drawbacks:
Beauty salon skin renewal: Through forced exfoliation of the skin surface to remove pigmentation, this method is not effective for treating dark circles. When skin cells lose their immune function, the body secretes a large amount of melanin to protect the damaged cells. Excessive exfoliation can weaken the cell's immunity, making dark circles worse.
Using hormone-based drugs or cosmetics: There are many over-the-counter topical medicines containing corticosteroid hormones, and misuse or abuse is common. Hormones have non-specific anti-inflammatory effects and can initially suppress melanin secretion, showing some results when first applied. However, prolonged use leads to drug dependency and common side effects such as itching, peeling, and swelling due to steroid-dependent dermatitis.
Laser treatment: Laser treatment can target deep melanin and vascular blockages in the delicate skin around the eyes, but it is prone to rebound effects and is costly.
Surgical treatment: Many people opt for surgery to treat eye bags, but surgery is expensive, risky, and may cause postoperative complications.
Currently, a popular method for reducing signs of aging around the eyes is "ZO’CHY Eye Essence." It uses various natural plant extracts rich in nutrients, energy, and water needed by the eye area. ZO’CHY Eye Essence mainly uses collagen with strong hydration ability as a medium, concentrating multiple active beautifying nutrients from natural plants, ensuring 100% safe absorption. It provides professional solutions for various skin problems.
