Method of improving the appearance of periorbital dyschromia
A method of improving the appearance of periorbital dyschromia by identifying a target portion of skin in the periorbital region of a person that exhibits periorbital dyschromia and applying a personal care composition to the target portion of skin during a treatment period. The personal care composition includes an effective amount of Type I active, an effective amount of a Type II active, and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The treatment period is of sufficient length for at least one of the actives to improve the appearance of the periorbital dyschromia.
1. A method of improving the appearance of periorbital dyschromia, comprising:
a. identifying a target portion of skin exhibiting periorbital dyschromia, wherein the target portion of skin is disposed in Zones 1 and 3 of a periorbital region of a user and includes brown, orange, and yellow tones; and
b. applying a personal care composition to the target portion of skin during a treatment period, wherein the personal care composition comprises an effective amount of a Type I active, an effective amount of a Type II active, a dermatologically acceptable carrier, and a viscosity of about 50,000 to about 200,000 centipoise, and the treatment period is sufficient for the composition to improve the appearance of the periorbital dyschromia.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Type I active includes a mixture of propyl gallate, gallyl glucoside, and epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside, a mixture of Chenopodium quina seed extract and butylene glycol, or a combination of these.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Type II active includes an extract of Vicia faba , an extract of Cucurbita pepo , cholecalciferol, or a combination of these.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Type I and Type II actives are each present at an amount of about 0.0001 wt % to about 5 wt %.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the improvement in appearance of the periorbital dyschromia corresponds to a positive change in Visual Perception Scale score.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the improvement in appearance of the periorbital dyschromia corresponds to a decrease in blood perfusion.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the improvement in appearance of the periorbital dyschromia corresponds to an increase in L* value, a decrease in a* value, an increase in b* value or a combination of these.
