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.

This solution is very calming. Lightly dabbed around the eye area. Minor wrinkles tend to slowly disappear.
