Many people experience this phenomenon. It may be due to allergies, dehydrated skin, etc. So what should you do if you feel stinging around your eyes after applying eye cream? Let’s take a closer look below.

What causes stinging around eyes after applying eye cream?

First of all, it should be clear that if the skin around the eyes feels stinging after applying eye cream, it is definitely an abnormal phenomenon and needs our attention. Eye cream itself is a kind of skin care product for the eyes. The skin around the eyes should feel very moisturized after application. If a stinging sensation occurs, either there is a problem with your skin or there is a problem with the quality of the eye cream.

Note that if it is the first time you apply eye cream, a brief stinging sensation is normal.

Reason 1: Skin allergy

If the skin around the eyes feels stinging after applying eye cream, it is likely a sign of skin allergy.

Skin allergies are not necessarily entirely a problem with the quality of eye cream, it is also related to personal skin type. If your skin is sensitive and not adapted to the ingredients of eye cream, after use, your skin will be irritated and stinging allergic symptoms will appear.

Reason 2: Skin dehydration

If your skin is dry, using eye cream may cause a stinging sensation.

This is because the most basic function of eye cream is to hydrate and moisturize. It is a skin care product that is high in water and nutrients. When the skin is in a dry and dehydrated state for a long time, it will be stimulated and produce a tingling sensation when it is suddenly injected with water.

In addition, when the skin is too dry, there will be some very small wounds on the surface that are invisible to the naked eye. In this case, using eye cream will irritate the skin and cause a stinging sensation.

Reason three: Eye cream problem

If you experience stinging pain around your eyes after applying eye cream, the problem may be with the eye cream itself. Nowadays, there are more and more skin care product brands, and they are becoming more and more diverse. Take eye cream for example. A bottle of good eye cream can cost thousands of yuan, while some eye creams only cost a dozen or twenty yuan. The price difference is so huge. In addition to brand factors, quality and ingredients also play a large role.

For some eye creams from unlicensed brands, it is impossible to determine whether they contain harmful ingredients. After use, the skin may be irritated and may cause allergic reactions such as stinging, redness, and swelling.
