Currently I am using a Neutrogena Ultra-sheer 55 SPF sunscreen on my face each day. Unfortunately, as the day progresses, so does the sunscreen down my face. By end of day, my eyes usually hurt and burn because the sunscreen has seeped into them. Is there a way to prevent this?
Sunscreen in eyes - is it just me?

Ingredients in chemical sunscreens (e.g., the widely used avobenzone) can cause eye-irritation. Physical sunscreens should be non-irritating.

It is definitely not just you, Skotkonung. I wear contact lenses so the issue is compounded for me. In my experience, Dr. Baumann is right; the physical blocks are much preferred in the eye area. Right now I'm using an spf30 TiO2 cream (or creme ) by Clarins: Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care. A bit pricey, but a little goes a long way. The packaging states that it's Opthamologist tested - although not what the results were - and I can wear it comfortably.
Good question. Best, Mia
