Applying facial moisturizer around the eyes is fine until, at some point in your
life, temporary welts appear on your eyelids every time you
use the facial moisturizer, partly due to the skin around the becoming more sensitive as one
ages.
This is the time to start using eye cream. Eye creams are made to be very
emollient and yet does not leave residue that will leak or interact with makeup.
And most eye creams are made with ingredients with less preservatives to
prevent allergic reactions. Preservatives like chlorohyxadrine, thimerosal,
and phenols can cause allergic reaction.
