Aeonia Eye Refresh

What is it: Aeonia Eye Refresh, an eye cream produced by Delavie Sciences, a company started up by Harvard's Dr. David Sinclair and Kyle Landry, who I profiled here.

Aeonia Eye Cream features the usual high-end skincare ingredients, including caffeine, shea butter, and resveratrol. But the real appeal of the product is an ingredient called Bacillus Lysate.

Bacillus Lysate is an isolate produced from bacteria that survived in space, on the outside of International Space Station, for 18 months. Delavie Sciences is careful to point out that there are no bacteria in Aeonia, but simply a compound isolated from the bacterium.

Why would you want this extreme space skincare? Visible skin damage is largely the result of sun damage. UV rays from the sun damage the DNA in our skin, create oxidative stress, and break down collagen.

The promise of Aeonia is that the space technology provides a different and superior kind of UV protection from conventional sunscreens, minimizing future damage, while the other high-end ingredients rejuvenate your skin.

Does it really work? You'll have to try and see for yourself. With Dr. sinclair's name attached to it, there's a lot of buzz around Delavie. When Aeonia first became available, the entire stock sold out in 3 hours. It's available again now. If you'd like to grab it and protect your skin with a bit of space technology, you can find Aeonia Eye Refresh here.
