Can I use this gel around my eyes?

The manufacturer’s usage instructions state: avoid the eye area unless the product instructions specifically allow it. The periorbital skin is significantly thinner, has fewer oil glands, and is more prone to irritation and milia from products not formulated for that zone. While hyaluronic acid itself is generally well tolerated, the gel may contain preservatives, pH adjusters, or other excipients that are safe for the face but too stimulating for the eye contour.

If you want hydration around the eyes, choose a fragrance-free eye cream or gel tested for ophthalmological safety. When applying the DNC gel on the face, stop at the orbital bone and pat any excess on the cheekbones or forehead instead. If you accidentally get product in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. For sensitive users, patch-test behind the ear or on the inner forearm for 24 hours before full-face use, as the guidance also recommends applying a small amount first and observing how it feels.
