Calanthe discolor orchid stem cells are selected for cosmetic lifting support and a more lifted-looking eye-area appearance.

What did the orchid ingredient study find?

The ingredient’s maker reports a 7.6% eyelid-lift appearance result after 56 days with its Calanthe Discolor-derived material, in a study of 26 women aged 40–65. The material’s eyelid and jawline effects were assessed in two in-vivo studies in women, run separately from SeneGence’s own clinical studies. Read the orchid ingredient study.
