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.

Works great
I finally have my routine dialed in and I must say Lumin met and exceeded my expectations 10 fold. I have to admit I have a much lighter complexion than most of your reviewers so I was naturally skeptical that it was right for my skin type. I've been a customer over a year and couldn't be more happy. Thanks Lumin team for all the hard work making such great products
