The MECCA view

This silky, fast-absorbing treatment powered by 3 forms of vitamin C, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid is clinically proven to visibly firm the delicate eye area and reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, crepiness, and fine lines in just 1 week.

Key ingredients

3 forms of Vitamin C

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: most effective stabilized form of vitamin C—maintains its acidic properties to penetrate deep into the skin, working on both the hydro-and lipophilic phases of the cell to minimize and prevent the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

TetrahexyldecylAscorbate: a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates lipid layers of skin, neutralizes free radicals and helps prevent hyperpigmentation.

Ascorbic Acid: naturally derived from fruits & vegetables, ascorbic acid is Vitamin C in its purest form. This potent antioxidant protects and repairs skin cells and up regulates collagen gene expression through increasing the degradation of lipids, ultimately resulting in firming skin.

Lactic Acid: gently loosens the bonds between epidermal cells to exfoliate skin’s surface. It also naturally hydrates, reducing trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) through the stimulation of ceramides and GAGS in skin. Lactic Acid can also serve as a powerful delivery vehicle forother ingredients, as it increases their penetration into the skin, and their efficacy.

Tranexamic Acid: derived from the amino acid Lysine, Tranexamic Acid interacts with pigmentation enzymes plasmin and plasminogen, which often appear in dark spots caused by UVA/UVB damage. This interaction, driven by Tranexamic Acid, blocks a linkage between Keratinocytes and Melanocytes, therefore reducing the appearance of dark spots, preventing new ones from forming, and improving overall skin tone. Additionally, Tranexamic Acid has been shown to perform very well when combined with powerhouse pigmentation-reducer, Vitamin C.

Centella Asiatica: also nicknamed gotukola or tiger grass, this medicinal herb is widely used in traditional Asian medicine as well as Ayurvedic medicine, for the treatment of skin diseases and for wound healing. This extract has antioxidant properties and helps protects skin’s moisture barrier.

Ceramides: found within cell membranes, this skin-identical lipid helps hold together the cells of the stratum corneum with a multi-layeredbarrier that locks in maximum hydration and effectively reduces TEWL.
