Two questions: (1) Is this safe around the eyes? And (2) I have very dry, flaky skin. Will this product exacerbate the dryness?

This product is stong. My face seems to tolerate everything fairly well so I started using it morning and night. Although I only had mild stinging, my face actually started looking worse after a while. I cut back to using it only in the evening and my skin did a 100% turn around; looks better and better everyday. With your dry skin, I would definitely start out only using it once a day, possibly once every other day.

It's great that at 23, you're taking charge of your skin care. In reality, all eye creams are technically moisturizers. However, avoid using a face moisturizer around your eyes. The skin around the eyes is very thin and face moisturizers are too heavy for the eyes. In any event, I recommend always using an eye cream or gel. But I do not recommend this product. I had an allergic reaction to the product. Look into an eye cream (or gel) that has few chemicals or even better, one that is organic. Eye creams (or gels) with too many chemicals and preservatives will dry out the skin under the eyes...creating wrinkles. When researching skin care products that are organic, make sure that the item(s) have a seal certifying that the product is most definitely organic. Some products claim to be organic but still have harmful chemicals. Check the label and avoid products with these chemicals: parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, fragrance, formaldehyde and others. You can do a search for the complete list of chemicals to avoid. In closing, DO NOT purchase this product. Do your research. You may spend a little more but you won't be sorry. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I have dry skin and it works just fine for me. The lotion is water based.. so it doesn really make the skin greasy and oily so i feel i can be fine for all skin types. Thats my personal opinion.

I use it every morning. I let it dry, it can be a little sticky on your skin and then I use an eye cream over it. I use the eye concealer after that. I would definitely recommend to use an eye cream after this product. It doesn't take much for both eyes just a small pump and it's lasted me for 6 weeks.

Yes, I use the product around my eyes. It does not sweat off into my eyes like some of the other sensitive sunscreens do. It seems to absorb better. I use moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup together. I put the sunscreen on before the moisturizer dries completely as it helps completely absorb. I also use on my neck with no staining on my clothes. I was using Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby sunscreen and it always left marks on my collar. This does not, again it seems to absorb much better. For normal daily use I apply once. If I am spending the day in the sun I reapply once every four hours since I burn easily. Yes, I use the product around my eyes.

Hi Pamela! Yes, because my skin in normal with tendency to be dry and I am 58 years old, and work good in my skin. However, to make wrinkles disappear only a good deep peeling do it, but this eye cream is better that several expensives one like Lancome, Dior, Chanel & Shiseiro (Bioperformance) that is grease and my skin doesn't absorb. I hope my answer is help and the cream works for you as work for me.

Yes. You will be very dry and flaky for a while. I used a Vaseline intensive moisture product. Also, it leaves an orange residue in your skin. Not a big deal, I think the benefit is worth it

I have used this on my upper eye lid and beneath my eyes being careful not to get any close to the eye itself. I have not experienced any issues doing so but each individual is different. You may want to try with a small amount at first and evaluate.

I have sensitive and relatively dry skin and this has never caused any peeling for me; however, I only use three times a week and lotion on my off-days. If you use more frequently I guess you may experience some peeling. I love this product :)

I have used it and it works fine. Just be sure that it doesn't get to hot in Micro way. I let it go to long and it gets hot. So I only did it a few seconds and it felt goood on my dry eyes.

I'm very reluctant to use anything around the eye that isn't specifically designed for that purpose. I would check with your doctor to see if baby vasoline is safe to use around the eyes.

it's safe to use. So far I used it for acne but no improvements. It cannot hurt your eyes unless you put it directly into your eyes

For me, Im not using around my eye, because the skin around eye is so sensitive and this product contains all ingredients design only for face and neck area.Im using special eye serum instead.

This is a very light weight lotion, when I put it under my eyes and around the eye, I try to apply on my skin and not in my eye, but it would probably burn if you put it on your contact lens or in your eye, but if you apply to just the skin, and wash your hands before you put your contacts on, it will probably be ok, Im not a Opthalmologist or dermatologist so I am not giving a medical opinion.

Never tried it. Tends to make the skin a bit dry. Will try it tonight followed by eye cream and if you want I'll let you know.

My wife, who has very sensitive skin, uses it under her eyes without irritation. She does, however, recommend not getting it into one's eyes. She also buys the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream and uses it morning and night, stating it is "pretty incredible".
