Summer was wonderful! Yes! Sun, light, warmth. All of that did us good. But: As soon as the warm season ends, a phenomenon appears on many faces that dermatologists know all too well: fine lines around the eyes, dryness, sometimes even slight puffiness. The cause isn't just UV rays! It's the countless micro-movements we make (mostly unconsciously) in bright light. Every time we squint, the muscles around our eyes activate. And yes, unfortunately, it's precisely these constant contractions that lead to visible lines over the summer months.
Special attention to the sensitive skin area
Before we get to the solution or improvement (and there is one, of course), let's briefly explain why the skin around the eyes is so unforgiving: The dermis is only about 0.5 millimeters thick in this area – making it the most sensitive zone of the entire face. For precisely this reason, there are hardly any sebaceous glands in these few centimeters. In other words, far too little lipid is produced. Last but not least: The muscles (and therefore the skin) are constantly in motion – around 10,000 times a day (!) just from blinking. When external factors are added (e.g., UV radiation, temperature changes, and environmental stress) or hormonal changes (such as during menopause), the aforementioned crow's feet develop.
Mallorcan salt plant: the wonder complex
Now that it's clear why this area of skin is so sensitive, let's get to the – let's call them – rescue measures. One key complex is called Bacillus Ferment. The creator of all 48grams products, skincare guru Bernd Kuhs, swears by it. The ferment extract stabilizes cells and inhibits inflammation. Above all, it reduces wrinkle depth by up to 38%, as well as 28% less puffiness (bags under the eyes) and 40% lighter dark circles. These figures are remarkable because they are not based on visual assessment, but on objective 3D skin analysis. Wow. That's why Bernd Kuhs included this extract in the Eye Cream and the Eye Pads formulated. The result is quite wonderful: The active ingredient penetrates directly into the microscopic skin architecture – and does not just remain superficial.
Biotechnological care in a gentle form
It is indeed the combination that fights against crow's feet. In the Eye Cream In addition to Bacillus ferment, the formula also contains shea butter, aloe vera, and a phosphatidylcholine complex; the latter acts as a so-called "skin penetration enhancer." This means that the active ingredients penetrate specifically into the deeper layers of the epidermis. As a result, the skin is both immediately smoothed and restructured in the long term. Dermatological tests (including those conducted by the "dermatest" institute) confirm its excellent tolerability, even for sensitive skin. The most positive feedback is consistently received in the 48grams product section: many customers report a visible and noticeable effect after just one week: less tightness and increased suppleness. This significantly reduces the number of wrinkles.
Quick regeneration for in between
The perfect complement to Eye Cream are the Eye Pads. They largely rely on the same active ingredient complexes – but in the form of soaked bio-cellulose pads: Aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and Bacillus ferment act as a fine hydrogel that balances the skin's moisture levels. The result is a visible lifting effect (!) after just 15 to 20 minutes (!). This product also received a "very good" rating from dermatologists. And while it might not always need mentioning – it's important here: Like all 48grams products, these pads are free of synthetic preservatives and fragrances.
Why now is the right time
Firstly, it's important to quickly counteract the effects of summer. Secondly, autumn is also the ideal time of year to specifically regenerate the skin. While we tend to use lighter textures during the warmer months, now we can opt for something richer. Eye Cream supports regeneration overnight – and the Eye Pads They provide a quick energy boost throughout the day. Together, they form an unbeatable duo. You can find both in our Eye care category.
A piece of Mallorca – in the middle of autumn
The most beautiful thing about these two products is that they bring back a little piece of Mediterranean flair. The aloe vera used comes from the sunny fields of Mallorca, the salt plant from its rugged coast. And both remind us that beauty doesn't lie in perfection – but in treating ourselves with love and care. That's exactly what these products are for. 48grams Eye Cream and the Eye Pads For bright eyes and against crow's feet or bags under the eyes.
