STEP 1: Dr.V EyeMax™

High strength tyrosinase inhibiting cream to slow down the rate of melanin production.

Directions: Cleanse the skin around the eyes and apply a very thin layer of EyeMax (about '1 grain of rice' worth per eye) followed by an unscented thick moisturiser on top.

STEP 2: Dr.V DC Repair™

Periorbital skin restoring cream

Directions: Apply alternate nights to EyeMax followed by a non-scented moisturiser. Do not apply within 2mm from the edges of the upper & lower eye lids (lash lines). Only use on unbroken, non irritated skin. Discontinue in the rare event of a skin reaction.

With both products above, if there is any irritation or sensitivity, please stop for a 3-4 days and try again with a smaller amount of product.

Please apply SPF50 suncream throughout the day as UV rays will re-trigger hyperpigmentation. Keep the skin well hydrated at all times with a simple thick, non-fragranced moisturiser. Not to be used in conjunction with other treatment products, anti-ageing creams, toners, exfoliating scrubs etc. (on the same area).

-----------------

WARNING - Not to be used if you: are pregnant, have any active skin conditions around the eyes (e.g. eczema), have very sensitive or very dry skin, have had any professional eye treatments within 3 months. Only use on normal skin, not if irritated or injured. If using isotretinoin, avoid usage of DC Kit until 6+ months after completion. Discontinue and seek medical advice from your GP in the rare event of a skin reaction. 

Results: vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. If dark circles have been present for many years, you are likely to require tyrosinase inhibitors for at least 6 cell cycles (6+ months). 1 kit lasts approx. 3 months, so 2 kits are recommended. Results depend on the resistance to treatment of your melanocytes.

Side Effects: (rare) may include but not limited to mild/temporary: dry skin, irritation, swelling, redness and darkening. General skin reactions are a rare but potential side-effect of DC kit creams. Reduce dosage or discontinue if symptoms are persistent or severe. In the event of a severe skin reaction, seek urgent medical assistance from your doctor.
