SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel

SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel prevents signs of aging while correcting existing photodamage. Additionally, ruscus aculeatus increases under-eye circulation to reduce swelling while caffeine improves drainage and congestion of fluids under the eye, further diminishing puffiness. When used daily, this preventive and corrective treatment combats signs of fatigue to restore a fresh, vibrant appearance around the eyes.

15ml

Following Duke-patented vitamin C technology, this breakthrough serum-in-a-gel contains a synergistic antioxidant combination to help protect the delicate eye area from oxidative stress, while targeted actives revive under-eye skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness. A state-of-the-art gelifier enables the proven antioxidant trio to be formulated in solution at an acidic pH within an open matrix delivery system for maximum penetration and efficacy.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Serum-In-A-Gel Technology

• Patent-pending gel delivery system suspends high concentrations of actives in solution at an acidic pH for maximum effectiveness
• Open matrix formulation enables actives to freely penetrate skin in a controlled manner for maximum bioavailability
• Gel network remains on the surface of the skin, reinforcing the skin’s barrier

Triple Antioxidant Treatment: 1% Phloretin, 5% Vitamin C, 0.5% Ferulic Acid

• Optimized formulation for the delicate eye area
• Prevents premature signs of aging and corrects existing photodamage, especially age spots and laxity
• Divides and conquers the range of reactive oxygen species (ROS) throughout the skin
• Facilitates cellular repair and maintains cell diversity
• Reconstructs the skin’s support structure
• Boosts skin’s natural immunity against DNA impairment to preserve cellular integrity and help prevent serious skin conditions like skin cancer
• Provides significantly better results than any one antioxidant alone

Double Corrective Power: Ruscus aculeatus and caffeine

• Work synergistically to minimize under-eye puffiness
• Increase micro-circulation

USAGE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• All skin types
• Aging skin
• Fatigued eyes

APPLICATION
Once in the morning, apply ½ pump per eye. Apply on the area below the eyes, on the outer corners, and on the brow bone. Maintain a distance of 3 millimeters from the mucous membranes surrounding the eye. Do not apply product to the inner corners near the nasolacrimal duct (tear duct), below the brow bone, or on the upper lid.

BACKGROUND
Due to its unique anatomy, the skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to photoaging. The skin in the eye area is 10 times thinner than the skin on the face, resulting in deeper UV penetration and accelerated water loss; highly elastic connective tissue creates flexibility and movement for the eyelid, but also makes the area prone to wrinkling and sagging. Under-eye bags and puffiness become more prominent as circulation in the dense network of arteries and capillaries naturally slows with age. Few sebaceous glands make this already fragile, thin-skinned area prone to dehydration and magnified photodamage.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
Featuring breakthrough technology, this first-to-market serum-in-a-gel antioxidant formulation is specifically formulated for the needs of the delicate eye area. The triple antioxidant treatment of 1% phloretin, 5% l-ascorbic acid, and 0.5% ferulic acid neutralizes damaging free radicals and reactive oxygen species to prevent and correct photodamage. Ruscus aculeatus and caffeine improve microcirculation by 28% in 12 weeks*, diminishing the volume of under-eye puffiness. Instead of encapsulating actives, the open matrix gel delivery system suspends the actives and delivery-enhancing solvents in an acidic serum. This unique serum-in-a-gel technology maintains the integrity of the solution until it makes contact with the skin and can be safely released for maximum penetration. As the serum begins releasing from the open matrix in a controlled manner, the solvents flash off, leaving the empty gel network on top of skin to reinforce the barrier for reduced irritation while driving actives to the target site. AOX+ Eye Gel’s soft, fresh gel delivery system ensures targeted application without the dripping or running associated with liquid eye formulations.

5% L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C)

• Water-soluble, chain-ending antioxidant essential for proper functioning of the human body
• Inhibits UVA and UVB radiation-induced damage
• Prevents UV immunosuppression
• Promotes collagen synthesis
• Regenerates vitamin E present in skin
• Anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties

0.5% Ferulic Acid

• Ubiquitous plant antioxidant
• Neutralizes free radicals known as "superoxide," "hydroxyl radical," and "nitric oxide"
• Suppresses radiation-induced oxidative reactions
• Anti-inflammatory properties
