Everything you need to know about darutoside

The skin around the eyes is both delicate and thin. Signs of ageing and fatigue can easily appear, hence the need for specific care. Darutoside is primarily found in eye contour treatments due to its regenerative virtues. This ingredient is used to reduce signs of fatigue around the eyes, namely:

  • Dark Circles;

  • The carousels of expression;

  • Under-eye bags.

To delay the onset of wrinkles, darutoside can be combined with other ingredients such as:

  • The extract from the bark of the silk tree (albizia): it diminishes dark circles;

  • Hyaluronic acid: it enhances the elasticity of the skin;

  • Centella Asiatica: it possesses healing and restorative virtues;

  • The concentrated active ingredient of peony flower: it reduces the signs of skin ageing.

What is the usefulness of darutoside?

The darutoside is brimming with benefits:

  • It repairs protein structures;

  • It rebalances the synthesis of melatonin in fibroblasts;

  • It enhances detoxification systems: darutoside stimulates skin microcirculation, hydration levels, and the lymphatic system. It optimises the skin's ability to prevent skin damage;

  • It enhances the elasticity and appearance of the eyelids and delays the onset of creases;

  • Stretch marks: these are primarily located on the bra area, thighs, buttocks, and stomach. They occur as a result of significant weight gain, during puberty or during pregnancy;

  • It soothes the skin;

  • It reduces inflammation: in the event of inflammation, the skin swells and reddens, which results in a skin rash;

  • It strengthens the microvascular network;

  • It promotes collagen production: collagen provides flexibility to the joints and elasticity to the skin. Moreover, it helps combat dehydration by attracting and retaining water within the tissues.

The other benefits of darutoside

When combined with Albizia Julibrissin, Darutoside can treat skin fatigue by enhancing the skin's radiance and reducing both dark circles and under-eye bags.

Furthermore, darutoside contains emollients, which enable it to stimulate tissue regeneration through the restructuring of the collagen matrix. It acts as a skin maintenance agent, as it preserves its condition. It is an ally for mature skin. Commonly used in eye contour care, it can be combined with other ingredients to mitigate the effects of ageing on the skin.

Furthermore, due to its sedative and healing effects, darutoside is used to treat rheumatic pains.
