Vitamin C + Peptide 24 Brightening Eye Cream : My skin doesn't like it that much.

I received Olay Vitamin C + Peptide 24 Brightening Serum from PinchMe. I started using Olay products because of PinchMe. This is my first time trying Olay serum with fragrance. I really love the scent. First couple days applying it, it stings a little bit. and then 3rd day, my face stars to develop dry patches again. I keep using it but my skin keeps getting drier to the point it starts to peel. so I stop using it and after my face calms down, I try applying it once at night just to confirm if it's the serum and unfortunately it is because the next day, my face starts to peel again but not as bad as the first time. it's too bad my skin reacts like that. I can tell it brightens my skin a little so far. For the texture, it's not too heavy. it absorbs pretty well. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin at all.
