Hi-
I have recently started to use this new formula. I have been a long time user of the C 15, C+E and original eye gel. I switched to the C+Ferulic Acid and Eye Balm last summer and recently to the AOX when it came out.
I can's say for sure what it has done, but hopefully it's preventing things from happening...
I think i have had the best results from the C 20 serum.

| Hi ladies, thanks for the reply. I feel like i am necglecting my eye area by not giving it the extra boost as i am the rest of my face (i am using ferulic acid C+E). skinceuticals claims that the aox can't be washed off until after 72 hours, so do you ladies apply this everyday or skip days in between? |

I want to get the 10% one, the 20% is just too strong for my skin  |

| carol--i think the AOX eye gel only comes in one concentration--5%. the other AOX serums are for the face i think and are the ones that come in 10, 15, or 20. |

| Yeah, I want something for my whole face. I stopped using the 20% all over as its just too irritating for me. But for some reason its fine around the eyes. It just seems to flare up my cappillaries so i thought a weaker strength might be better as C E Ferulic didnt seem to irritate(that one gave me whiteheads though ) |

| yeah, i love skinceutical serums. too bad about the ferulic c + e though. you should definitely get the sample vials on ebay for the AOX just in case it causes adverse reactions. |

i just got a little sample vial of eye gel aox in the mail and was wondering how this is to be applied.
i looked on the skinceuticals website but no directions on application. i found these directions on amazon.com "Once daily, using fingertips, apply a thin layer (1-2 drops) underneath the eyes and on the outside areas of the eye. Avoid upper eyelid. May be used along brow bone, avoiding eyebrows."
so i don't apply it all around my eyes like i would an eye cream? |

I would have to agree the the CE Furlic made me break out. Someone pm me and said that I should use it every third day but for me, it is hard to remember when was the last time I have applied it.
I have a daily routine and I follow it with my eyes closed. Literally! I have to be up at 4:45am to get ready for work. I start at 6am.
I'm not sure if I want to try the AOX 20. I don't want any breakouts. |

| Skincare--i heard that the higher concentration of vitamin C can cause breakouts on some individuals. u should probably try a lower concentration, maybe 5 or 10% to see how that works. request for a sample definitely! |

I kept breaking out on my chin! I felt pretty protected wearing this but I couldn't handle the chin breakouts
I really wanted to like this but I went back to Cellex-C and my skin is beautiful now. |

librarygirl--sorry it didn't work for you  but i am glad you have beautiful skin now!
i just looked at cellex-c at the shopping page and wow, the picture of the older gentleman, the left side of his face looks awesome compared to his right! which serum are you using? is it the under eye toning gel? i put the skinceuticals aox eye gel under my mom's eyes this morning and the skin there started flaring up, which is weird since she does fine using the skinceuticals c + e ferulic on her face as a whole (she does have very sensitive skin). i am looking for an alternative for her and cellex-c seems really convincing! |

| I thought vit. c serum wasn't irritating to capillaries? |

| razinkane--yeah, i read that it wasn't supposed to be irritating but for some reason aox eye gel bugs my mom. she is fine with other vitamin c serums, must be something else in aox eye gel. |
