Hylexin Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Some skin care treatments are meant to rejuvenate your skin as a whole, while others are specially formulated to target very specific areas. Hylexin is one of the latter. Hylexin is a skin care offering from Brennan Research Labs that claims to be a heavily researched product specifically designed to get rid of dark under-eye circles. Under eye circles are caused by stressed and burst, or "degraded," blood capillaries. While some people experience mild cases of burst under-eye capillaries brought on by lack of sleep, allergies or stress. Sometimes that is the problem, and these kinds of circles will fade on their own as the day progresses. However, Hylexin is formulated to treat more severe circles. These kinds of serious dark circles can be classified as a skin condition, just like oily skin or poor skin tone.

Obviously, the researchers at Brennan Labs saw an untapped market with a need waiting to be met. And indeed, it can be frustrating to always look tired, even when you're wide awake. Like any highly specialized skin treatment, Hylexin is a serious formula with strong active ingredients. Some people who are particularly upset about their dark, puffy under eyes use Hylexin as a last resort treatment before looking into surgical lower blepharoplasty procedures. Hylexin is also an alternative to using oily concealers that may only be adding to the problem. The product's formula is made up of anti-inflammatory compounds that tighten your under eye capillaries, reducing the dark blood leakage that leads to dark circles.

Product Details

Hylexin's main active ingredient is a citrus-based flavanoid that stops unnecessary blood leakage in under eye capilaries. This proprietary element is Hylexin's biggest claim to effectiveness.

The other ingredients in Hylexin's under eye treatments are: 0.78 oz: Water, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Silica, Cetyl Alcohol, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Stearic Acid, Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Hydroxysuccinimide, Hesperidine Methyl Chalcone, Steareth-20, Polysilicone 11, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Potassium Sorbate, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

The Good

  • Official website offers product on-line. Website also lists an 800 number for phone orders.
  • Official website offers discount on future orders of Hylexin when you sign up for their subscription service.

The Bad

  • Hylexin contains several parabens, a low-cost artificial preservative that has been linked to cancer and skin irritation.
  • Very difficult to find unbiased information on this product.
  • At $95.00 (without re-order discount) Hylexin is on the expensive side of skin care products.

The Bottom Line

Hylexin is an iffy skin care product. General info is tough to find and testimonials indicate that Hylexin is most effective when paired with a generous sleep schedule and healthy dietary habits, which calls the effectiveness of the cream itself into question. Hylexin also makes no claims to affect under eye puffiness or drooping, two conditions that can also affect your appearance and make you look more tired than you are. In this case, a product with collagen stimulants may be more effective. Additionally, Hylexin is definitely not for you if you are looking for a skin care treatment for your entire face.
