Description AOX Eye Gel prevents signs of ageing while correcting existing photodamage. Patented vitamin C technology, serum-in-a-gel contains a synergistic combination of proven antioxidants to protect the delicate eye area from oxidative stress, while targeted actives revive under-eye skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness. 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 Formulation enables active ingredients to freely penetrate skin in a controlled manner for maximum bioavailability The triple antioxidant treatment of 1% phloretin, 5% l-ascorbic acid Vitamin C, 0.5% ferulic acid neutralises damaging free radicals and reactive oxygen species to prevent and correct photodamage. Ruscus aculeatus and caffeine improve circulation by 28% in 12 weeks*, diminishing under-eye puffiness. KEY INGREDIENTS 1% Phloretin – From apples and bark of fruit trees A flavonoid known to prevent immunosuppression and for anti-inflammatory, antifungal and anticancer properties. Accelerates cell turnover Suppresses radiation-induced oxidative reactions Slows the degradation of collagen Increases the production of elastin Maintains the integrity of the extra cellular matrix Inhibits UV-induced pigment production – hyperpigmentation 5% L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) Water-soluble, antioxidant 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 Plant antioxidant – Neutralises skin damaging free radicals Suppresses UV-induced oxidative reactions Anti-inflammatory properties Easily absorbed by the skin Inhibits UV-induced hyper-pigmentation Ruscus Aculeatus – Derived from a small evergreen shrub – Used as a diuretic Reinforces blood vessel walls and improves circulation Reduces puffy eye bags – swelling, oedema and inflammation Caffeine – Improves drainage and congestion of fluids, Reduces under-eye bags, Reduces puffy eye bags, oedema and inflammation BACKGROUND Due to its unique anatomy, the skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to photo-ageing (sun damage) 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 sun damage.
