Try to do your evening routine about 30 minutes before you go to bed so the products have time to seep. We had a client who had a similar eye irritation, and this regimen tweak helped her a lot. And remember, do not use the active products on or near your eyes as your skin is very sensitive and thin in this area. Your Ultra Gentle Cleanser is safe to use on the eyes. We recommend Ultra Gentle Cleanser as your make-up remover, as well as using it to clean your makeup tools.
