Introducing A.M. Eyelid Gel

AM Eyelid Gel is a power packed eye cream formula designed to address 

• Dehydrated eyelid skin 
• Fine lines, eye bags & dark circles
• Eyelid skin barrier health
  

I formulated this EYE SAFE EYE CREAM for my dry eye and MGD patients so they would have an alternative to retinol. The specific ingredient is called:  MOTH BEAN EXTRACT, Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract and goes by the brand name Vit-A-Like™.

The RETINOL ALTERNATIVE Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract aka Vit-A-Like™

Our formula proudly features a powerful botanical RETINOL ALTERNATIVE that mimics the effects of retinol without the drawbacks to the eyes. Extracted from the seeds of Vigna Aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal, a leguminous plant that is very resistant to dryness.

Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract is an innovative ingredient that improves the appearance of the eyelid skin by encouraging eyelid epithelial skin-cell turnover while maintaining meibomian gland health – a critical factor for those prone to MGD and dry eyes.

Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract also has a proven track record with use in cosmetics. For over 20 years, this botanical retinol has been used with success and tolerance across adults for all Fitzpatrick skin types. 

Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract aka Vit-A-Like™ Benefits

• Water soluble for the purpose of hydrating dehydrated skin
• Encourages epithelial skin-cell turnover without the drawbacks of retinol
• Can be used day or night, inside or outside (unlike retinol)

How to Use A.M. Eyelid Gel

As the name suggests, use it in the morning. Apply a very thin layer to the lower eyelids and upper eyelids. If you are planning on sweating during the day, use veryyyyyy little on the upper eyelids to avoid dripping into the eyes. AM Eyelid Gel can also be blended with P.M. Eyelid Butter (if dry, flakey, red, eyelid skin is a concern) or Eye Eye F™ Eye Balm (for mature, dry eyelid skin). 

TL;DR

Yes, it's called MOTH BEAN EXTRACT, Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract and goes by the brand name Vit-A-Like™. – a powerful, natural botanical mimicker of retinol that serves as an effective RETINOL ALTERNATIVE. Find it in We Love Eyes A.M. Eyelid Gel. This extract is specially formulated to encourage eyelid epithelial skin-cell turnover, resulting in smoother, rejuvenated skin. It also fortifies the eyelid skin barrier by enhancing its resilience and moisture retention. In short, Moth Bean Extract not only brightens and evens out skin tone but also strengthens and protects the delicate eyelid area.
