Can anyone recommend an eye-friendly moisturiser for SPF

I am currently looking for a moisturiser with a decent SPF in it. I have very dry skin and very sensitive eyes. I seem to have a real problem with SPF and my eyes. Even if I don't put the cream anywhere near my eyes it still seems to get in and I end up feeling that my eyeballs are on fire. I am very pale so definitely need sun protection. I know Bare Minerals do some sort of powder suncreen so might need to try that, but wondered if anyone else can suggest anything. Cheers.

I have been using a sample size of Clinique super city block. It's SPF40 and is fine to use round the eye area. I think the full size costs around £16, so not sure yet if I will go ahead and buy it, but apart from the price-tag, it seems fine!0

I use Kiehl's SPF 50 sun block stick. It's non greasy, is very easy to apply and doesn't feel heavy. I've tried cheaper versions of SPF sticks and they've always felt like Vaseline crossed with lip-balm and just feel horrible on. I don't get the same issues with the Kiehl's version. I've not found an SPF eye cream which has as high a protection as this so I tend to go back to it.0

Are you trying physical (micronised zinc, titanium dioxide) or chemical sunscreen agents?Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

You should get a Natural Moisturizer with SPF that don't have harsh chemicals that is found in most creams. Ones I recommend is Burt's Bees. I love their brand.0

Do you have any sensitivities to any other products? I am allergic to some creams - especially suncreams but couldn't work out exactly what for years til I got three seemingly random products together (a deodorant, a face cream and sticking plaster of all things) and worked out it was cinnamic aldehyde that was the common denominator.
If it is not the SPF itself you are sensitive/allergic to you may find unless you know the allergen you may buy things for sensitive skin but they may still contain it and you are no better off."I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants."

I have sensitive eyes and I have this problem too. The one I use is Nivea Visage Light Daily Moisturising Cream.
