Can I use this gel if I have sensitive or reactive skin, and what's the best way to introduce it?

This gel was formulated with sensitive and easily irritated skin in mind: it avoids heavy occlusives, common fragrance allergens, and dense balm textures that can trap heat and trigger stinging. The ingredient list is short and focused — liposomes for even delivery, glycerin for hydration — which lowers the statistical chance of a reaction compared to multi-active eye creams with retinol, acids, or essential oils. However, "sensitive" varies widely between individuals. Conditions like rosacea, eczema, contact dermatitis, or a compromised barrier from over-exfoliation can make even gentle ingredients feel irritating at first.

To introduce it safely, apply a rice-grain amount to the inner forearm or just below the jawline once daily for two to three days. If no redness, itching, or burning appears, move to the orbital bone area (not the mobile lid or lash line) every other night for a week, then daily as tolerated. Use the ring finger with a light tapping motion — no rubbing. If you wear contact lenses, insert them after the gel has fully absorbed (about two minutes). Discontinue immediately if persistent stinging, swelling, or rash develops, and consult a dermatologist if symptoms don't resolve within 24 hours. The 39 g tube is airless, which helps preserve formula integrity and reduces contamination risk — a practical advantage for reactive skin types.
