Schrammek High Perfection Eye Cream 15ml

Anti-aging eye cream with caffeine and hyaluronic acid

The skin around the eyes reveals how you feel earlier than any other part of your face. This has a biological reason: the eye contour is about 0.5 millimeters thick, the thinnest skin on the body, contains hardly any fat cells, and has a dense concentration of small blood vessels just below the surface. When sleep, stress, or hormones slow down microcirculation, these blood vessels show through as dark circles. Additionally, the eye area moves about 10,000 times daily through blinking, laughing, and facial expressions — fine lines appear here sooner than anywhere else, and cosmetic ingredients must adapt accordingly.

The High Perfection Eye Cream from Dr Schrammek’s Essential line is specifically developed for this unique skin zone. The fragrance-free, emulsifier-free formula combines four effects that enhance each other: caffeine stimulates microcirculation and helps reduce dark circles, the Biophytex® complex strengthens capillary blood vessels and reduces redness, hyaluronic acid and biopeptides replenish moisture and support elasticity. The texture is light and absorbs smoothly without overloading the eye contour or disturbing mascara. With daily use morning and evening, a 15ml jar lasts about three to four months.

Benefits

• Reduces dark circles with caffeine and the capillary-strengthening Biophytex®
• Intensively hydrates with hyaluronic acid that binds its own weight in moisture
• Firms and smooths fine lines with biopeptides and ceramides
• Light texture without fragrance — suitable for the sensitive eye contour
• Absorbs quickly without affecting mascara or makeup
• Free from preservatives, colorants, emulsifiers, and mineral oil

Active Ingredients

Caffeine (Caffeine): A vasoconstrictor that stimulates microcirculation in the eye contour. Dark circles often occur because local blood vessels are dilated and blood flow is slow — caffeine temporarily tightens these blood vessels, reducing the purplish discoloration. When used in the morning, this immediately gives a noticeably more awake appearance, especially after a short night.

Biophytex® (Ruscus Aculeatus / Butcher’s Broom): A concentrated extract from the root of butcher’s broom, long used in phytotherapy for vascular complaints. For the eye contour, Biophytex® specifically strengthens capillaries — it reinforces the walls of fine blood vessels, reducing leakage of blood pigments (the cause of shadows under the eyes). It also reduces redness and helps with couperose around the temples.

Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): A molecule that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in moisture. In the eye contour, where the skin is thin and dries out quickly, hyaluronic acid provides immediate hydration and visual plumping. Fine lines caused by dehydration — especially noticeable in the morning — appear smoother as the skin is plumped from within.

Biopeptides (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12): Short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules for the skin. Specific biopeptides like Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 stimulate collagen and elastin production in the eye contour, which firms the skin over time and helps maintain its existing structure. This is the fundamental anti-aging effect of the product.

Centella Asiatica & Calendula: Two classic plants with skin-soothing and regenerating properties. Centella (gotu kola) is known for its wound-healing abilities and strengthens the collagen structure, while calendula soothes mild irritation. Together, they protect the sensitive eye contour from reactivity to the active ingredients.

Escin & Horse Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum): Escin is a natural compound from horse chestnut with a specific effect on swelling and puffiness. For those who wake up with swollen eyes — due to sleeping position, salt intake, or fluid retention — escin helps stimulate local lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness faster.

Ceramide NP & Shea Butter: Two nourishing ingredients that restore the skin barrier of the thin eye contour. Ceramides are natural skin lipids that decrease with age, and shea butter provides a rich protective layer against moisture loss. Both prevent the dry eye contour from developing fine lines due to dehydration.

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face morning and evening with a gentle cleanser
2. Dispense a rice grain-sized amount onto the tip of your ring finger
3. Warm the cream briefly between both ring fingers
4. Gently tap under the eye from the inner corner outward
5. Then lightly apply over the upper eye socket without rubbing on the moving eyelid
6. Allow to absorb for a few minutes before applying eye serum, foundation, or concealer
7. Always use sun protection on the entire face in the morning

Tip: Store the jar in the refrigerator for an extra de-puffing effect. The cold texture enhances the caffeine’s effect against puffiness in the morning.

Suitable For

• Those suffering from dark circles due to poor microcirculation or lack of sleep
• Morning puffiness caused by sleeping position or salt intake
• Early fine lines around the eyes from facial expressions or dehydration
• Mature eye contour with loss of resilience
• Those who work a lot in front of screens and want to counteract eye fatigue
• Sensitive eye area that cannot tolerate fragrance or harsh ingredients

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see results on dark circles?

For dark circles caused by poor microcirculation, you often see a difference after just a few days — caffeine works immediately as a stimulant and Biophytex® visibly strengthens the blood vessel walls within a few weeks. For dark circles caused by hereditary pigmentation, the effect is more limited; these have a different cause and require additional products such as a brightening eye cream.

Can I use this eye cream under concealer?

Yes, the texture is deliberately light and fragrance-free to wear smoothly under makeup. Wait two to three minutes after application before using concealer — this gives the best result without makeup shifting or settling into fine lines. Many users even notice that concealer applies more smoothly on top due to the hyaluronic acid hydration.

Is this eye cream suitable for active redness or couperose around the eyes?

Yes, that is precisely why the formula contains Biophytex®, which specifically strengthens capillaries and helps with couperose. Centella Asiatica and calendula soothe mild irritation. For severe rosacea or active redness, we recommend consulting your skin therapist first.

What is the difference compared to Sensiderm Eye Balm or Hydra Maximum Eye Fluid?

The High Perfection Eye Cream is the most comprehensive anti-aging eye cream — suitable for puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. Sensiderm Eye Balm is specifically designed for very sensitive eye contours. Hydra Maximum Eye Fluid is a light, hydration-focused fluid for younger eye contours that mainly seek hydration without an anti-aging approach.

How long does a 15ml jar last?

With daily use morning and evening using a rice grain-sized amount per eye, a jar lasts about three to four months. Eye creams are deliberately sold in smaller sizes because a minimal amount is sufficient and the formula remains optimally fresh within that period.
