How does this compare with the effectiveness of Vani-cream spf 35? And do you use it on the skin around your eyes? thank you!

Darcy, I actually switched from the 35 to the 50 about a month ago because the 50 had the titanium dioxide, which is supposed to block more. I am a fair-skinned red head. Unfortunately I just didn't think the titanium is that big of a difference. The texture to me was the same (have to rub in or it will leave a white tint). I am debating on going back to the sport 35 that I used before. I didn't get sunburnt with the 50, but didn't with the 35 either. The other thing is make sure you have no allergies to the titanium dioxide. I had my 13 year old (also fair skinned and red headed) use this (he had used the 35 before fine), and evidently he is allergic to the titanium dioxide. 12 hours after we put it on him, his neck had hives with a rash and itched like crazy! It lasted about a day and then was gone. So, I don't blame the sunscreen--we had just never used the titanium dioxide before and evidently won't again. Guess I'm just not a fan of the titanium dioxide. :( Also, I put it on my face and around my eyes with no problems. Hope this helps! --CJ

I understand that there's very little difference between 35 and 50. I do you use this around the eyes careful about not getting in the eye. it is very effective sunscreen but do not get on your glasses or sunglasses because it doesn't come off very easy.

It gives you even better protection than 35. I use it all over my face with no problem.

I use the radiance eye cream and a night cream. I love them both. I will probably be buying more BB facial products as when my present products are used. The creams feeling smooth and gentle. They make my skin look nice and feel soft.

I am not sure. I use this daily but if I am in the pool or going to be in the sun, I use a waterproof children's sunscreen. I try to get as little sun on my face as possible. I do like this is 50 SPF & it's lite and absorbs quickly. I also like that it's tinted & not white. I hope this helps!

Yes! I definitely use around my eyes, and I am also prone to breakouts... But it's actually gotten better. I use both the bell essence oil and the cream... The cream seems even better around the eyes, whereas I use the oil on my whole face including around the eyes, but just a couple of drops in the morning in a couple of drops at night. The cream is great around the eyes and other dry spots, and I use it more Liberally

Yes, I have used it around my eye area followed by my regular eye cream. It is not oily or greasy and absorbs very quickly.

Sorry I can't answer your question since I am using several eye products it's hard to determine which is best. While I liked the Swiss Ultimate ...Serum before I purchased other products, I found the Resilient Beauty Uplifting Eye Gel a little better.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!

I use it all over my face and my kids faces. Because it is so easy to spread it is very easy to get close to the eye without getting any in their eyes. Again because it is so easy to spread (not sticky at all, feels like spreading powder) you can use far less then other sunscreens and still get good coverage, mine tubes last a long time. If we are at the beach or pool I reapply every couple of hours, same as any sunscreen. I have found it to be very easy to use and very effective.

There have been times that I've used this cream during the day, especially when I may have forgotten to put it on the night before, or I am going to be in the house all day, or there is very little sun out. But this cream does not have sunscreen in it like the daytime moisturizer, so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day. I love the Total Effects with SPF 15. Very emollient and offers great sun protection without looking pasty.

I use under my eye and on my eyelid and have had no problems. As to the loose skin, I would have to say it depends upon how "loose" it is. I have noticed considerable tightening around my eyes since I have been using the products. I use all of the Skin Medica products and love them!

I have used it around the eye area with no issues. I have a few brown spots and so far I do not see that it has helped them. I'd like to know as well what others have experienced as far as the brown spots.

I have, and it worked just fine. The application has to be light or it can look pasty. I use it for everything, even eye cream when my skin feels dry. I can't say enough about it. Really one of my favorite products on the market.

I used it on my eyelids and around the eyes, carefully avoiding UNDER the eyes, though. The undereye skin is tissue thin and this product has an "acid" that reduces wrinkles. Didn't want it to make the skin under my eyes any THINNER! Yikes!

The vanicream sport SPF 35 I use on my kids when they play sports. The sweat from running around in the sun does not interfere with the application of the sunscreen, and there skin stays protected. I use both, other than that I use them both and they do not affect my kids eczema.

Yes, this was specifically recommended for me by my dermatologist (I don't purchase it through them) and I would say it is the only face "make up" with an SPF of 45 that has NEVER caused irritation or itching. Even wearing it in hot and sweaty situations, I have actually reapplied it as a Sunscreen, with no reaction. I love this line, and would recommended it to anyone, with only the exception of those looking for heavy coverage. My daughter has typical stress/teen acne issues, and uses this with a cover up stick when necessary.

I used it around my eyes with no problem. No burning sensation at all. You should know, however, that the "serum" has the consistency of water. Don't get me wrong - I like it, but it's not like a cream or gel. When I say watery texture, I mean it literally feels like water.
