If you’ve heard of us, you may have heard of our favorite little friend – the Disco Repairing Eye Stick. Our best-selling under-eye serum is a serious cult favorite here at Disco. It works fast, and effectively, and it travels well. But what exactly is it?
When it comes to men’s skincare, we have things down to a science – literally. We work with a team of skincare experts and dermatologists to ensure we are creating the best quality products, optimized specifically for men’s skin.
There are a lot of skincare brands out there, but we aim to create formulations that make skin issues prominent or particular to men, including razor burn, dark circles, oily skin, acne, and more.
Furthermore, men have a different pH mantle to their skin surface than women. It’s paramount to us to create products that work tangentially to this pH level, as well as balance out male-specific hormones that affect men’s skin health.
So without further ado, we’ll explore Disco’s best-selling product, the Repairing Eye Stick, what it does, how to use it, and why it’s simply the best choice for eye care.
Why We Created the Repairing Eye Stick
We are in business to help men become more confident and comfortable in their skin. Everyone deserves to look and feel their best, and skincare shouldn’t be reserved for women. The Eye Stick came about because our founder, Benjamin Smith, knew that most of the men in his life, including himself, all struggled with one big thing when it came to their skin: that tired, puffy, and dark look under his eyes.
We live in a fast-paced world that is constantly demanding our attention. Sleep isn’t always the top priority, even when it should be. Moreso – late nights, too much of a good time, and not-so-healthy lifestyle habits can take a toll on the body and the skin. Dark circles under the eyes can develop for anyone, even if you are taking good care of your skin.
It’s not the best look, which is why we sought out a quick, easy, and all-natural solution.
What Causes Dark Circles and Puffy Undereye Bags?
Genetics, age, diet, and even improper skin care can cause you to have dark circles and puffy bags under your eyes.
No matter the root cause, dark circles, and puffy bags are a result of two factors:
- Thin eye skin. The skin underneath the eyes is the thinnest on the entire body; about ten times thinner than the rest of the skin on the face.
- Blood vessels. The blood vessels underneath the eyes can dilate for several reasons, causing the blood to pool there and leave a dark coloration or puffiness.
Age, free radical damage, genetics, sleep issues, smoking, and allergies all contribute to dark circles and puffiness. While some of it is unavoidable – like getting older or just having certain genetics – there is something you can do about it. Lucky for you, we created just the right blend of topical, all-natural ingredients to restore the youth to the most vulnerable part of the face: the windows to the soul.
Tackle the Tired Look
Our under-eye serum contains all of the benefits for tackling the tired, dull look. After using the eye stick, you’ll experience a more awake, bright, and youthful appearance.
- Dark Circles: The serum works to target the raccoon-eye look by correcting discoloration, helping brighten the thin skin area, and even out skin tone. Antioxidants do an excellent job of brightening and evening, and the moisture helps to plump the skin under the eye so it appears fuller and less hollow.
- Puffy Under Eye Bags: The eye stick is loaded with powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients that target puffiness, swelling, and a baggy look.
- Fine lines and Wrinkles: It’s a part of aging, however, the eye serum uses regenerative, anti-aging ingredients to smooth and flatten out those fine lines and wrinkles that form under the eyes.
The 3 Key Ingredients
The magic trio in the Repairing Eye Stick are all-powerful, all-natural ingredients that will target dark circles, puffy under-eye bags, and fine lines.
- Pycnogenol. This plant-based, pine tree extract helps brighten the skin, erasing dark circles and helping even out skin tone. The skin under your eyes begins to look healthier and looks the same as the skin on your cheeks. Pycnogenol is also a powerful antioxidant, which helps protect your skin from oxidative stress (aka free radical damage). Antioxidants work as a shield, protecting your healthy skin cells from free radicals.
- Niacinamide. A type of vitamin B3, this ingredient is not only skin brightening, it helps fade fine lines and wrinkles and prevent them from forming. Niacinamide is also an expert ingredient for smoothing the skin and helping improve overall texture. This ingredient helps transform the skin under your eyes, helping it go from dark and dull to clarified and bright.
- Caffeine. Caffeine is extremely beneficial to your skin when applied topically, but before you go smearing coffee grinds on your face, you should know you need it as a standalone ingredient in your eye care products. Caffeine helps to shrink and tighten skin, making puffy eyes less noticeable and making it harder for blood and fluid to collect under your eyes causing dark circles. Caffeine also has a calming, soothing effect on your skin, which can feel incredibly refreshing if your under-eye skin is also dry, irritated, and peeling.
How to Use the Repairing Eye Stick
The Repairing Eye Stick comes in a glass tube with a metal rollerball head where the product is released.
Step 1: Shake the Eye Stick very well. This gets the product loosened up and ready to be released by the rollerball head.
Step 2: Gently swirl over the under-eye area in small, circular motions.
Step 3: Gently pat the serum into the skin using the fingers.
Step 4: Wait 5-10 minutes for the serum to be absorbed into the skin before applying any other products, like makeup or sunblock.
We recommend applying the Eye Stick twice daily and being consistent with it for at least 1 to 2 months to see long-standing results.
However, here at Disco, we are proponents that skincare is always a long-term game with long-term results. We see it much like any other wellness or health practice. Exercising consistently for one week is not going to yield crazy overnight results. It takes consistency, discipline, and patience. The confident look and feel of youthful, clear skin are all worth it.
