…

Hesperidin, also known as vitamin P, is a powerful brightening agent that works to reduce the appearance of dark circles, delivering more awake and refreshed-looking eyes. Found in our advanced eye creams, hesperidin helps to suppress melanin transport in the skin, targeting uneven pigmentation, promoting visible brightness and clarity around the eye area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of hesperidin for skin?

Hesperidin helps to visibly brighten and energise the skin while delivering antioxidant protection. It is particularly valued for its ability to support microcirculation and strengthen capillaries, which can help reduce the look of dark circles and reveal a brighter-looking eye area, making it a key ingredient in advanced eye treatments like Medik8’s Advanced Day Eye Protect.

Is hesperidin good for dark circles?

Yes, hesperidin is often used in eye creams for its ability to reduce the appearance of dark under-eye circles. It works by supporting healthy blood flow and helping to minimise the pooling of blood that can contribute to visible discolouration under the eyes.

Can I use hesperidin daily?

Absolutely. Hesperidin is gentle and suitable for daily use, particularly in the morning or evening as part of an eye care routine. It works well alongside ingredients like caffeine, vitamin K oxide, and peptides for enhanced results.

Is hesperidin safe for sensitive skin?

Hesperidin is generally well-tolerated and suitable for sensitive skin. Its soothing and antioxidant properties help to calm visible redness and support the skin barrier.

When used in expertly formulated products like Medik8’s Advanced Night Eye, it delivers targeted results without overwhelming delicate skin.

How do I use hesperidin in my skincare routine?

Hesperidin is best used as part of your morning or evening routine, applied after cleansing and before moisturising. Often found in brightening or targeted eye products, it works well alongside ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide and peptides to help improve the appearance of dark circles and uneven tone. 

Medik8’s Advanced Day Eye Protect contains hesperidin and offers all-day protection against environmental stressors, making it an ideal morning eye cream. Gently pat a small amount around the eye area and always follow with sunscreen to support and maintain visible results.
