Dear Elias,

For some immediate relief, moisten two chamomile tea bags and place them over your closed eye, especially over the irritated area. I use cool water for this. Hold in place at least 5 minutes. Repeat every couple of hours.

Try castor oil or extra virgin coconut oil on the irritated area between chamomile soaks.

Hi Elias,

I too have had this reaction to most eye creams and even the moisturizing water sprays (forgot to cover my eyes when I sprayed). Did you use a gentle cleanser to remove the eye cream? You might need to do that a few times.

It may take a few days to recover. Just don't put anything on it to aggravate it!
