OPTICALLY-ACTIVATED SYSTEM FOR REDUCING THE APPEARANCE OF SKIN IMPERFECTIONS

摘要

Optically-activated systems and methods for reducing the appearance of dark under eye circles are provided. The systems comprise a complex of a fluorescent compound and a substrate for the fluorescent compound which are affixed to one another by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof. After absorption of ambient light, the fluorescent compound in the complex re-emits visible light of longer wavelength. The re-emitted light provides an illuminating radiant effect and is particularly useful in improving the appearance of skin imperfections.

主权项

1. An optically-activated system comprising a complex of at least one fluorescent compound and at least one substrate for the at least one fluorescent compound wherein the at least one fluorescent compound is affixed to the at least one substrate for the at least one fluorescent compound by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof, and wherein the at least one fluorescent compound in the complex is activated by absorption of light in the UV to visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum and re-emits visible light of longer wavelength.
