A vitamin C eye serum-in-a-gel that provides advanced environmental protection while reducing the look of puffiness, visible signs of fatigue, and dark under-eye circles.
AOX+ Eye Gel is a groundbreaking eye serum-in-a-gel for dark circles that contains a synergistic combination of 5% pure vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid), 1% phloretin, and 0.5% ferulic acid along with powerful botanicals to protect the delicate eye area from atmospheric skin aging–environmental damage and premature signs of aging caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O3). This refreshing vitamin C eye serum targets visible signs of aging such as crow’s feet and fine lines, and improves the appearance of puffiness, fatigue, and under-eye circles.
THE SCIENCE
Environmental Aggressors + Eyes
Environmental aggressors, such as pollution or sunlight, cause free radical damage that leads to premature, visible signs of aging. The delicate, thin skin around the eye is especially prone to damage from environmental aggressors. To prevent discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles, incorporate an antioxidant-rich serum that offers environmental protection.

Prep + Dispense
In the morning, apply 1/2 pump of AOX+ Eye Gel per eye on fingertips. Apply the puffy-eye serum on the area below the eyes, on the outer corners, and on the brow bone.
Apply + Complete
Gently pat the gel until it is completely absorbed. Do not apply product to the inner corners near the tear ducts, below the brow bone, or on the upper lid. It is normal for vitamin C products to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. Once opened, it is recommended to be used within 6 months of opening.

IS VITAMIN C OR RETINOL BETTER FOR UNDER EYES?
While both can be used under the eyes, you must identify what you want to treat with vitamin C eye serum or retinol. Vitamin C is recommended to help brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. In contrast, retinol is best for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. You can use both in your skincare regimen: vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REMOVE DARK CIRCLES UNDER EYES WITH AOX+ EYE GEL?

WHAT COLOR SHOULD AOX+ EYE GEL BE WHEN FIRST OPENED?
AOX+ Eye Gel can range from a straw color to a dark amber. Because of the formula’s active ingredients, the product will begin to darken over time from exposure to air and light. This does not mean the formula has become ineffective.
