Say goodbye to tired, puffy eyes with Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel!
This ground breaking serum-in-a-gel packs a powerful punch with its patented vitamin C technology and a unique blend of antioxidants.
Let's break down why this eye gel is a game-changer for your skincare routine.
What are the benefits of using Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel?
Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel is designed to protect the delicate skin around your eyes from oxidative stress while rejuvenating the under-eye area and reducing puffiness. Its innovative gel formula ensures maximum penetration and effectiveness, delivering a potent antioxidant combination directly to where it's needed most.
Prevents Signs of Aging: This gel doesn't just treat existing damage; it also prevents future signs of aging, keeping your eyes looking youthful and vibrant.
Reduces Puffiness: With targeted actives like ruscus aculeatus and caffeine, it improves circulation and drainage, minimizing under-eye puffiness for a refreshed appearance.
Maximum Penetration: Thanks to its serum-in-a-gel technology, the potent antioxidants in Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering optimal results.
Improved Circulation: Ingredients like ruscus aculeatus reinforce blood vessel walls and enhance circulation, reducing swelling and inflammation around the eyes.
Key Ingredients:
Phloretin: Derived from fruits like apples and pears, phloretin accelerates cell turnover, slows collagen degradation, and inhibits UV-induced pigment production, keeping your skin bright and even-toned.
L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Essential for skin health, vitamin C protects against UV damage, promotes collagen synthesis, and has anti-inflammatory properties, ensuring your skin stays resilient and youthful.
Ferulic Acid: This plant antioxidant neutralizes free radicals, suppresses UV-induced oxidative reactions, and inhibits hyperpigmentation, helping your skin stay radiant and healthy.
Ruscus Aculeatus: Known for its diuretic properties, ruscus aculeatus improves circulation and reduces under-eye puffiness, giving you a refreshed, awake look.
Caffeine: With its ability to improve drainage and reduce fluid congestion, caffeine minimizes under-eye bags and inflammation, leaving your eyes looking bright and revitalized.
How do you use Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel?
Simply apply half a pump of Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel to each eye in the morning. Gently pat the gel around the under-eye area, outer corners and brow bone for maximum effect.
With Skinceuticals AOX Eye Gel, achieving radiant, youthful eyes has never been easier.
Diane's comment - some clients can see a visible improvement in puffy eye bags from the first application
Why does the eye area need a specific eye product - do you really need eye creams?
The delicate skin around the eyes can be the first to show signs of ageing - puffiness, wrinkles, discolouration and fatigue
- Vitamin C - specifically the L-ascorbic acid form prevents premature signs of ageing and corrects existing sun and UV light damage, especially age spots and sagging
- Vitamin C counteracts free radical damage caused by UV, HEVL ( computer light), infrared, smoking, pollution and internal ageing factors such as stress.
- Facilitates cellular repair
- Supports collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
- Supports 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
When used daily, this preventive and corrective treatment combats signs of fatigue to restore a fresh, vibrant appearance around the eyes.
- Multi action eye product
- Reduces under-eye puffiness
- Increases circulation to brighten dark circles
- L-Ascorbic acid - Vitamin C brightens, protects, strengthens

Circadia Vitamin Veil Oil Cleanser
Circadia Vitamin Veil Oil Cleanser
Diane Nivern's favourite cleanser, brilliant make up remover! The best natural oil cleanser - will not block pores!
Diane's recommendation; oil is the natural solvent to oil - so if you have blemish prone skin, blackheads or" bumps" under the skin don't be put off from using THIS oil cleanser - Why? it does not contain pore blocking mineral oil (petrochemical, liquid paraffin, "baby-oil") nor any detergents like some "oil" cleansers which turn white when you add water to them. This oily cleanser will remove make up including mascara and long wear products, it's massagable - very important for your face - it will soften blackheads, is gentle on sore spots, is gentle on dryer or sensitive skins too.
WHO'S IT FOR?
All skin types especially dry, mature, sensitive and Rosacea skin types. Ideal cleanser for inflamed, acne-prone, spot prone skin with blackheads - oil cleansers are soothing but dissolve the sebum / oil in blocked pores too.
Excellent eye make up remover too!
Ideal for post treatment skincare.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
A soy oil based cleanser that gently and quickly removes all traces of makeup, debris and even mascara!
Nourishes and soothes dry, mature, sensitive, rosacea prone and post-treatment skin.
Leaves a thin veil of antioxidant protection on the skin.
May be used as an all-over body treatment before showering to replenish dry skin.
Extremely gentle and healing post-surgical cleanser.
Diane says...
" This gorgeous cleanser is great, probably THE best eye make up remover I have ever used. Gently and effectively removes all make-up.
I recommend this cleanser for sore, sensitive, acne prone skin, especially a skin irritated by Roaccutane / Isotretinoin. Oil dissolves oil better than detergent based face washes.
Therefore this oil based cleanser helps unclog oily, blackhead prone skin which can also be dehydrated , flaky and sore.Easily removed with warm water and a clean cotton face cloth"

Infused with squalane, a deeply hydrating ingredient to combat dryness associated with some retinols
DIANE’S TIP: Make sure to cleanse the skin in the morning before any direct sunlight as the skin will be sensitive due to last night’s retinol application. Use SPF daily as part of your routine when using retinol.
