Dark Circle Brightening Eye Cream — Triple Vitamin C + Fullerenes + Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 + Matrixyl + Glutathione — VITA-C Deli-BERRY Tech™
By Juccy Gooseberry Dark Circle Brightening Eye Cream 30ml is a vegan, multi-active eye cream engineered specifically to address the two primary causes of dark circles — pigmentation and poor microcirculation — with one of the most comprehensive brightening and anti-aging peptide complexes.
The VITA-C Deli-BERRY Tech™ is By Juccy’s proprietary delivery system for its triple Vitamin C complex, designed to enhance penetration and stability of Vitamin C into the delicate, thin under-eye skin where standard Vitamin C often degrades before reaching its target. The triple Vitamin C system works across three forms with complementary stability and penetration profiles: Ascorbic Acid (pure L-ascorbic acid for direct, immediate brightening action), Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide (a peptide-conjugated stabilized form for sustained release and enhanced skin compatibility), and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (an ethylated, highly stable, and deeply penetrating Vitamin C derivative that converts to active L-ascorbic acid in the skin). Together they deliver continuous-spectrum Vitamin C activity that pure Ascorbic Acid alone cannot sustain.
Glutathione — the body’s master endogenous antioxidant — works synergistically with Vitamin C to inhibit tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin), neutralize oxidative stress that causes pigmentation, and recycle Vitamin C for extended antioxidant activity. Fullerenes (Carbon C60) are among the most powerful antioxidants identified in modern cosmetic science — with a radical-scavenging capacity estimated at up to 172 times that of Vitamin E — protecting the fragile under-eye skin from oxidative damage that accelerates dark circle formation, collagen breakdown, and premature aging. Their inclusion alongside Glutathione and triple Vitamin C creates an antioxidant triad that works at multiple mechanism levels simultaneously.
The dark circle peptide is Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 — a peptide clinically developed specifically for the eye area, with studies showing improvement in under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and water retention by strengthening capillary walls and improving lymphatic drainage to reduce the blood pooling and fluid accumulation that cause both discoloration and puffiness. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl) — one of the most widely studied collagen-stimulating peptides in cosmetic formulation — promotes collagen I, III, and IV and fibronectin synthesis for structural anti-aging and skin firmness improvement in the eye contour area. Together these two peptides address both the vascular (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5) and structural (Matrixyl) causes of aged and tired-looking eye skin.
The botanical brightening complex carries the full Gooseberry line signature: Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) in four forms (Water, Fruit Extract, Fruit Oil, Fruit Juice) for full-spectrum carotenoid and Vitamin C antioxidant support; Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla) Fruit Extract for potent natural Vitamin C and ellagic acid brightening; Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract for natural enzyme brightening; Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water (Green Tea) for polyphenol antioxidant and anti-inflammatory depth; and Centella Asiatica Extract for barrier calming and repair. Folic Acid supports skin cell DNA repair and renewal — a distinctive inclusion for an eye cream. Raffinose (a plant-derived trisaccharide) and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (a smaller molecular weight HA that penetrates deeper than standard Sodium Hyaluronate, which is also present) deliver layered, multi-depth hydration. Ceramide NP + Hydrogenated Lecithin reinforce the delicate under-eye barrier, and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter + Panthenol + Allantoin provide rich nourishing comfort without heaviness. Contains fragrance.
