Lunar Eyes Lift No. 5 – Luovi Touch

You glance in the mirror at 7:30 a.m. and your eyes say: „give me thirty more minutes of sleep.” Morning puffiness, dark circle, slightly hooded eyelid - you know the picture. Lunar Eyes Lift No. 5 was created so that this morning ritual ends faster than your coffee.

The serum works on three time horizons. After 20 minutes - visible lifting and tightening thanks to Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum and the peptide complex. After 4 weeks - reduced depth of expression lines thanks to Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1. After 12 weeks - collagen remodelling and elasticity like years ago thanks to bitter orange stem cells.

Hero ingredient: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Callus Culture Extract - bitter orange stem cells. Clinical studies show they restore skin elasticity to its level from 12 years ago by activating fibroblasts and protecting telomeres. For the eye area - where skin is 5 times thinner than on the cheek - this is the difference between „repair” and „protect”.

Sensorial profile: a transparent gel-serum texture, lightly cooling on application, neutral scent, no stickiness. Perfect under makeup (1-2 minutes to absorb). Use morning and evening, one drop per eye, patting from the inner to the outer corner.

Indications: Skin type: all skin types, especially sensitive, mature and dry skin around the eyes. Age: 25+ as prevention, 35+ active treatment of first wrinkles, 50+ intensive anti-aging care. Concerns: expression lines, crow's feet, morning puffiness, dark circles, loss of firmness and hooded eyelids.

Step 5 of the Luovi Touch ritual: after the Velvet Mist No. 6 (151) or Blue Cloud Tonic No. 3 (153), before your day cream or Sunset Rich Cream No. 7 (146) at night. 15 ml lasts 3 months of daily use - the critical minimum to see the biological, not just sensorial, effect.

• Step 1. Preparation (30 seconds). After cleansing and toner Blue Cloud Tonic No. 3 (153) or mist Velvet Mist No. 6 (151), the skin should be slightly damp - peptides and hyaluronic acid penetrate better.
• Step 2. Dosage. Dispense one drop (rice-grain size) per eye onto the ring fingertip - the weakest finger that does not pull delicate skin.
• Step 3. Application. Pat from the inner to the outer corner along the lower orbital edge and under the brow. Do not rub. 15-20 light, short taps.
• Step 4. Absorption time. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying cream or makeup. Before mascara and shadow allow up to 3 minutes (then nothing creases or smudges).
• Frequency. Daily, morning and evening. First tightening visible after 20 minutes, wrinkle reduction after 4 weeks, full effect after 12 weeks.
• Pro tip Luovi. In the evening combine with Sunset Rich Cream No. 7 (146) - the serum penetrates pinpoint, the cream seals the area and works overnight. In summer keep the bottle in the fridge - cool serum reduces puffiness more strongly.
• Position in the Luovi Touch ritual. Step 5 - after cleansing, toner and mist, before day or night cream.

Key actives:

• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 / Argireline (expression-line peptide) - reduces neurotransmitter release in the orbicularis oculi muscle, so mimic wrinkles around the eye become shallower. The 5% concentration matches Lipotec's clinical study levels. Chosen over a deeper-acting botox-like peptide because it does not penetrate too far - safe for delicate eye-area skin.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (signal peptide) - „wakes up” fibroblasts and stimulates type I and III collagen synthesis. Combined with Argireline it delivers a „relax + rebuild” effect - which is why both peptides are used together, not in isolation.
• Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Callus Culture Extract (bitter orange stem cells) - activate the skin's own stem cells and protect telomeres. Chosen over the popular apple stem cell extract (Malus domestica) because it acts more strongly on elastin.
• Caffeine - stimulates microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness and vascular shadows. The cosmetic concentration of 1-3% is well documented for the eye area.
• Sodium Hyaluronate (low-molecular hyaluronic acid) - penetrates deeper than classic HA, fills fine lines from within and gives a „rested-eye” look from the first application.
• Euphrasia Officinalis (eyebright) - traditional herbal extract for tired eyes, calms redness and lens-related irritation.
• Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum - botanical tightening film responsible for the immediate, mechanical lifting effect - the „wow” you see after 20 minutes.
• Spirulina Platensis Extract - source of amino acids and trace elements, supports regeneration of the thin eyelid skin.

Store at 5°C - 28°C, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity (a steamy bathroom is not the best place - moisture lowers peptide stability). After opening use within 12 months (PAO 12M) to preserve full activity of peptides, caffeine and stem cells. Storing in the fridge in summer is recommended.

Patch test before first use. Apply a drop of serum to the inner elbow or behind the ear. Wait 24 hours. No redness, itching or burning = you can use it on the eye area. Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any ingredient (especially peptides or eyebright). During pregnancy and breastfeeding consult your doctor (peptides are considered safe but data are limited). Avoid contact with the eyeball - if eye irritation occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of cool water. Discontinue for 48 h if you notice burning, itching or persistent redness. Do not apply to broken skin. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
