Eye burning after applying Estee Lauder Eye cream?

I'm using a Estee Lauder Eye cream recently and whenever i apply it to the area around my eyes, I feel my eyes are burning. Is this normal? Should I stop using it?|||It's not uncommon to have eye sensitivities. The first question I would ask is are you applying it correctly? Using your ring finger, tap the product lightly and then begin patting the product gently around your ocular bone. You should not apply any eye cream directly to the skin on your eyelid or directly under the eye.





If you think of this analogy, you'll understand why:


The skin under your eye is very thin and fragile...excessive rubbing and applying a lot of product to this thin skin can either cause irritation or simply over-saturate the skin with cream and it will migrate into your eyes causing stinging etc.


The best visual I can give you is if you put some water on the counter then lay a tissue down next to the water with just the smallest corner of the tissue touching the water....you know what happens! The tissue draws the moisture into it and before you know it, the water has all been absorbed by the tissue and the whole tissue is damp. It's the same with eye cream...apply it to the ocular bone and it will go where it needs to go without over doing it.


In any event, if a product makes you uncomfortable, return it. The Beauty Advisor will help guide you to a better alternative.|||I would stop using it and contact my doctor....return it tho for a refund.|||STOP using it immediately! When you put something on and it starts burning, wash it off immediately and get a new product to try. If rashes appear, consult a doctor.|||youre probably allergic to a ingredient in the product, stop using estee cream and find another cream.|||estee lauder cream made my skin turn super red than break out, because aat the time i didnt know that fragrance made my skin freak out :O definately rinse your eyes ASAP though! and yeah that must mean that you have sensative skin like me|||This can certainly happen if you are sensitive to the product, but as a cosmetic executive for 5 years, I have found that when clients are not removing ALL of their eye makeup remover, then applying eye cream, the residue from the eye makeup remover (generally a soap of some kind) can make the eye cream burn. I recommend rinsing your eye makeup remover with a water soaked cotton ball, let the skin dry, then apply your eye cream. This solves the problem for most people. If you still have burning, then YES, absolutely return the product. Any cosmetic sales person worth his/her salt will gladly return the product and encourage you to try something else that fits your personal needs. if you get any resistance or attitude, ask for the department manager. Best of luck!
