If eyes are the windows to the soul, what ancient proverb best describes the angst-provoking skin around the eyes? True wrinkles come from within? Lately, I’ve been on a yarn about nurturing beauty from within, namely the holy grail of beauty, collagen. Even with a steady diet of bone broth and turmeric shots, there are some things we just can’t supplement our way around, especially the bane of my existence – craterous dark circles and crow’s feet.
Simply put, the under eye area needs topical care, results-driven actives to blur and/or lighten darkness under the eyes, freeze fine lines, and plump the thinnest of skin. The newly-launched OS-01 Eye from One Skin hones in on all of the above with an ingenious peptide-rich cream to heal, restore and rejuvenate the overall eye area. It’s a fusion of science and beauty from an all-female startup of 4 Biology and Chemistry PhDs with credentials that will lift your expectations as much as your eye area.
One Skin is not just a skincare line, but a biotech firm that focuses on a genius term they coined after 7 years of research: “skin span.” It’s the length of time skin, the body’s largest organ, is healthy and functional. Their mission is to optimize skin health and extend the skin span to foster longevity and counteract the aging process. In lieu of a Benjamin Button reverse aging wand, they’ve created OS-01, a proprietary peptide to extend the skin span of the under eye area by combating the senescence process – the damage and death of cells, basically, aging. In the presence of this unique anti-aging peptide, cell turnover mimics that of healthier skin, including the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid from within.
In addition to the peptides, the OS-01 formulation is perfected with a cocktail of clean actives that read as much like an eye cream as a nutrient shake. Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract is added to protect against pollutants, and Fucus Vesiculosus Algae Extract incorporated to brighten in a base of Biomimetic Vegan Collagen designed to better penetrate the skin barrier.
The final proof of OS-01 as next-generation self-care is the packaging. When you order a second time, and surely you will after seeing the anti-aging results, it’s sold as a refill cartridge/pump. The empty one slips out of the clear outer bottle just as easily as a fresh one slips in for the next round of the brightening, lifting peptide formulation.
