Does your pretty little face require specific skincare at different times of day? It’s a question worth pondering, particularly given the financial investment we make in our arsenal of topicals, lotions, potions, serums, and creams. Let’s face it (pun intended), keeping 30+ skin disguised as 25+ comes at a price. Isn’t it worth it to go the extra step and make sure you’re getting the absolute most out of your products?
While anti-aging, reparative ingredients (like retinol and glycolic) are highly effective at improving tone, texture, and easing the appearance of creasing, they’re best applied at bedtime, as skin goes through its regenerative process. But what about day?…what’s the best possible way to treat skin during the day?
For daylight hours, skin requires an antioxidant rich regimen designed to fight free radicals, pollution, and the photo-aging affects of the sun. SkinCeuticals AOX EYE GEL‘s triple antioxidant treatment (Phloretin: increases eastin, Vitamin C: promotes collagen production, Ferulic Acid: neutralizes free radicles) is perfectly suited for daytime use and is effective at combatting the plagueing signs of fatique. For the last month, I have been generously applying the gel-like serum under my eyes and around my brow area. The immediate benefits are increased hydration, luminous texture, and vibrant appearance. The formula penetrates easily without a sticky residue. I generally apply my CARGO under eye brightener directly over SkinCeuticals AOX EYE GEL and the product does not run, fade, or crease…a major feat! Over time, I have noticed that my eye area appears more supple and fresh. The added caffeine in the formula gives my tired, puffy eyes a much needed boost in the a.m. and also helps to improve circulation.
Keeping in mind that this particular product is antioxidant packed and suitable for daytime use, for evening I recommend an eye cream that is formulated for overnight repair. I like ROC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream.
Do you adjust your routine from day to night? You should!
I’d love to hear about your skin rituals. Leave a comment & share.
I actually like it so far. Just got the chance to finally review it.
I have just started using the AOX Eye Gel, so cant wait to see how well it works. I use Skinceuticals mostly on my skin and have done for a couple years now – cant go wrong. It is pricey but my skin really gets on well with it x
Love Beauty Skin: Good luck with it. Agree, pricey but it works quite well!
Please keep me posted, “Love beauty skin”

I definitely adjust from day to night – for day, much better to use a hydrating or gel based eye cream since makeup tends to sit better on top of this than some of the heavy eye creams…having been dying to try this one from Skinceuticals but not available in Canada yet!
I just love the Skinceuticals ferulic-infused skincare products. Such a splurge, but so worth it!
