growth factors are redefining skin-rebuilding science

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The undereye area is often the first place where skin begins to look tired, hollow, and less resilient. As we age, this delicate zone gradually loses visible density, allowing shadowing, discoloration, and thinning skin to become more noticeable. What begins subtly can become one of the most visible signs of skin aging, no longer just a fleeting concern but a change in how the skin itself looks and feels over time.

Developed with this reality in mind, Dermalogica’s new Smart Eye Density is a biointelligent undereye serum designed to support skin where visible density loss is most apparent. The lightweight formula features a growth factor complex, an advanced category of skin-rebuilding molecules that help signal skin to help rebuild density and volume where it’s needed most. This next-generation approach reflects a growing consumer shift toward thoughtful, non-invasive solutions that prioritize long-term skin health over temporary cosmetic coverups.

“From an education perspective, we see undereye hollowness as a density issue that requires a more advanced understanding of skin function. In the treatment room, we’re trained to look beyond surface symptoms and address what’s happening beneath the skin,” says Heather Hickman, VP of Global Education at Dermalogica. “That same mindset shaped Smart Eye Density. Growth factors are naturally occurring signaling proteins that help support skin’s renewal processes, and in this formula we use next-generation, biomimetic growth factors from plant-based and bacterial sources. By pairing them with a smart oleosomal delivery system, we’re able to enhance stability and deliver controlled, targeted support to the delicate eye area. It’s a treatment-informed approach, grounded in skin biology and professional expertise.”

Smart Eye Density is designed for the undereye zone, where skin is naturally thinner and more vulnerable to the combined effects of aging, genetics, and lifestyle stressors. Guided by professional treatment logic, the serum activates growth factors to help visibly rebuild undereye density, plumps and rehydrates for immediate volume, and visibly diminishes discoloration.

Rooted in Dermalogica’s professional heritage and decades-long commitment to skin health, Smart Eye Density brings advanced skin science into a daily ritual, delivering targeted care for hollow undereyes while supporting healthier-looking skin over time.
