Is under eye cream supposed to burn?

No, under eye cream should not burn or cause any discomfort when applied. If you experience any burning or stinging sensations, it may be a sign of an allergic reaction or irritation, and you should discontinue use immediately.

When should I start using under eye cream?

There's no specific age when you should start using under eye cream, but many skincare experts recommend starting in your mid to late 20s to help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. However, it's never too late to start using under eye cream, and it can be beneficial for all ages.

Noticeable difference in just a few weeks
Started using Lumin around 6 months ago and within a few weeks I'd seen a noticeable difference in the dark circles around my eyes, with the skin looking firmer and a reduction in the dreaded 'bags'. Would highly recommend for those who like me (mid-30s) are late to start taking my skin-care seriously!
