REAL RESULTS: The Anti-Ageing Properties of Kale Extract

The hands, neck and eyes are the earliest parts of the body to display signs of ageing, which is why it's important that you remember to include these body parts in your skincare routine to maintain youthful, healthy skin for longer.

Why do we praise kale so much for its anti-ageing powers? Because it works!

Today we wanted to share with you the properties and minerals which make this nutritious plant one of the best anti-ageing agents, and show you real results of some of our bestselling Anti-Ageing Kale products so you can see the kind of effects you may notice after just 28 days' use.

By now, you're probably aware of the great nutritional value of kale. You might have heard that kale is a nutrient-dense superfood that is rich in vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to your health, but in addition to being a great source of vitamins, minerals and fiber, kale also contains antioxidants that have been shown to have anti-aging properties when applied topically to the skin.

One of the primary antioxidants found in kale is vitamin C, which is essential for the production of collagen - the protein in our body that provides the skin with elasticity and helps keep it looking youthful and firm.

As Kale contains lutein and zeaxanthin, an antioxidant combination that helps reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, it does more than just minimise the effects of ageing: it protects your skin from free radicals, proving a great solution for brightening damaged, dull skin. This makes it a great ingredient in eye cream, as the vitamin C and lutein work in synergy to brighten your dark circles.

Kale Anti-Ageing Eye Cream

This supercharged vegan eye cream is formulated with vitamin-rich kale to reduce fine lines; maqui berry and pomegranate enzymes to help de-puff baggy eyes and minimise dark circles; and amino acids, B vitamins and antioxidants to firm and tone the skin. Made with 79% organic ingredients, you can fight the signs of ageing and keep your skin looking youthful and healthy, knowing that you are also making a positive impact for both the planet and yourself by choosing ethically-sourced skincare products.

Meet Sam, our clinical trialist

We ran a 28-day trial to test the efficiency of our Kale Anti-Ageing Eye Cream. Sam used our product consecutively for 28 days, and had her fine lines and deep wrinkles analysed (before and after use) using a Visia Complexion Analysis Camera.

Trialists were photographed with "Surface Imaging Solutions" using a Visia Complexion Analysis Camera (Nick Miedzianowski-Sinclair, 2019)

Light green lines refer to fine lines and dark green lines highlight deep wrinkles. Sam saw a visible reduction in both her fine lines, as well as the deep wrinkles underneath her eyes in just 28 days.

We are excited to share that our trialist Sam achieved impressive results after using our kale anti-ageing eye cream. Sam's Wrinkles Score reduced from 36.0 to 20.5, and their overall skin age score reduced from +6 to +4 years above their actual age. These results demonstrate the remarkable anti-ageing properties of kale, specifically in the context of our eye cream.

These are real results and they can you can aid the your signs of ageing too, in less than a months' time! Sam's results are a testament to the effectiveness of our Kale Anti-ageing Eye Cream in reducing the visible signs of ageing. With regular use, our eye cream can help you achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance, while nourishing and protecting the delicate skin around your eyes.
