Can I use the same strength vitamin C around my eyes as I do on my face? What strength is good for one or the other or both? Question

Hi,
As far as I am aware, it's not the strength that matters it's more the thickness. The skin around your eye is thinner than the rest of your face and creams for face are too thick and heavy for the eyes.
Hope this helps

I've used both DIY and purchased Vit c serums. I'd say they both work equally well for me. I give DIY a slight edge as it is cheaper and fresher.

I use 15% on my face (including under eyes), neck and hands.

I use my HABA Vit c serums(6%) on my whole face including the eye area, so far so good.
