Vitamin K shrinks capillaries and that helps to reduce surface redness and dark circles caused by bruising. This cream is super-thick, but it’s important to remember that this isn’t a body creme; it’s a spot-treatment.
The thick cream stays in place to deliver all that vitamin-y goodness. Both my husband I tested this cream out on our various skin issues. I was hoping this cream would help with the darkness under my left eye in particular: I was also hoping it would help with some discoloration I had on my side. My husband has had problems with eczema flare ups for maybe 20 years now. When we started using the Reviva Labs Vitamin K cream, he had this raw patch on his right shoulder: For myself, I continued to use my normal skincare routine, but nothing applied to the eye area other than the Reviva Labs Vitamin K cream. The directions say to use twice a day, but I’ll be honest – I’m never that faithful with any skincare routine. I did use it at least once a day, most days. Even so, I saw a difference! I was amazed at how much smoother and lighter the discoloration on my side was after just two weeks. During the two weeks, my husband continued to use body lotion as before, but no prescription medicine. I did some research on the interwebs, and couldn’t find a relationship between Vitamin K and eczema. It’s entirely possible that this is simply correlation/coincidence and not a causal relationship between the cream and his rash. But one thing is for certain – his skin hasn’t looked this good in years.
