We do not recommend "SkinCeuticals - Mineral Eye UV Defense SPF30 Sunscreen Protection" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day.

Sunscreen filters

It is a mineral sunscreen. It uses titanium dioxide for sun protection. Titanium dioxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.

What does the product description say?

Formulated specifically for the unique structure of the thinner and more sensitive skin around the eye, it provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection without migrating into and irritating the eyes.

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, hydrogenated jojoba oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

triethylhexanoin 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

dimethicone 22% - 34%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

hydrogenated jojoba oil 4.1% - 6.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

Sun protection

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

titanium dioxide 8.4% - 12.6%

Irritation risk:

UVA I protection: UVA II protection: UVB protection: Photo stable: Ingredient type Mineral

Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin

iron oxides 0.85% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. They might be able to offer some protection against visible light, but the degree of the protection is not clear

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Protect and perfect the delicate eye area with SkinCeuticals Mineral Eye UV Defense SPF 30 , a subtly tinted formula that has been specially formulated to protect and enhance the thinner, more sensitive skin around the eye.

Source: Lookfantastic

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.

The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
