My DH is having some sort of reaction to a sunscreen.  The area around his eyes is clearing irritated, red and itchy.  

His eyes are fine, no reddness or pain.

But the skin around the eyes is NOT happy.

I tried cool compressed with limited short term relief.

Coconut oil -VERY light touch made it worse.

Any other suggestions before I start digging through my stash......


@Abrowneyegirl ... about a month ago I had an allergic reaction to some product I had been using.  The area below my left eye was all swollen; irritated; and wrinkled.   I used Aquaphor on it.  The swelling eventually went down but I have continued to use the Aquaphor under my eyes ever since.  Surprisingly, it works better than any eye cream I have ever used.  The area is moisturized; the appearance of any fine lines has greatly diminished; and I need to use much less concealer.
