A targeted peptide active for reducing puffiness and restoring firmness around the eyes
REGU-AGE is a specialized active ingredient created for the thin, sensitive skin of the periorbital area. It has earned steady demand across the global cosmetic industry because it addresses several causes of eye area aging at once: fluid retention, weak microcirculation and gradual breakdown of collagen fibers. The 5 gram size is well suited for home formulation and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test the active's performance in a limited volume of cream or serum before scaling up production. This product belongs to the section actives for eye contour care, which gathers ingredients specifically chosen for the delicate skin surrounding the eyelid.
The most common use of REGU-AGE is in professional and home-made eye contour products: creams, gels, serums, patches and roll-on applicators. By acting on the microvascular network, the ingredient helps reduce capillary permeability, visibly decreasing puffiness and the bluish tone under the eyes that is often linked to poor blood circulation in small vessels. At the same time it supports the synthesis of structural skin proteins, making the tissue firmer and reducing the visibility of fine expression lines. This combined action explains its popularity in mature skin formulas and in products aimed at preventing early signs of aging.
The recommended usage level is typically between 2 and 5 percent of the total formula weight, with the exact concentration depending on the desired intensity and the rest of the recipe. The active should be added at the final stage of emulsion preparation, in the cool phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid damaging the sensitive protein and peptide fractions. After adding it, mix gently until uniform, avoiding vigorous whisking that could trap air bubbles inside the texture.
REGU-AGE pairs well with other actives designed for the eye area. Combined with NIKKOL Tocoretinate-10, the overall renewal effect and skin tone improvement become more pronounced, since the retinoid component works at the cellular level to stimulate epidermal turnover. Using it alongside plant-based Collagene Vegetale gives additional support to the dermal framework and enhances the smoothing effect. For deeper hydration and moisture retention in the upper skin layers, it is worth adding Hyaderm to the formula, which helps create a comfortable, non-sticky finished texture.
REGU-AGE should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, in a tightly closed container, to prevent contact with moisture and air that could reduce the ingredient's activity over long-term storage. Before use it is good practice to check the appearance of the raw material and follow the shelf life indicated by the manufacturer.
Beyond eye contour products, this type of peptide complex is also used in broader anti-aging skincare lines, including face, neck and decolletage creams, as well as in formulations for professional cosmetology practices where a high concentration of active ingredients in a small volume is essential.
Cooling eye contour gel
Distilled water 65 ml
Aloe vera juice 10 ml
Glycerin 4 ml
Gel-forming polymer 1 g
REGU-AGE 2 g
Hyaderm 1 g
Broad spectrum preservative 1 ml
Dissolve the gel-forming polymer in distilled water while stirring slowly until fully dispersed, then add glycerin and aloe vera juice. Once the base reaches room temperature, blend in REGU-AGE, Hyaderm and the preservative, mixing gently until the gel becomes clear and uniform, then transfer it into a clean airless dispenser.
