Can this be used on the upper eye? Also does it lift loose skin?

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 use it on the eyelids, a very small amount. It tightens the skin temporarily but what is importante is that with continuous use over time due to the ingredients the skin around the eyes gets smoother and less paper thin. SkinMedica has very good products.

I can feel a tightening, not tingling when I use it. I bought it to use primarily neck and jowl area, and I am pleased with it. By the end of the day, I can see where it isn't as tight anymore, but I put it on early and it lasts a good 10 hours for me. Sorry, I have never used it around the eyes, but think as long as you are careful and not get it into the eyes it should be safe. I know it can be used all over the face.

I think you can use this for that purpose if you are using a wash cloth. I found that if I don't use a washcloth to remove make-up it does not do as good of a job. Regarding eye irritation, I have not had any and I am very sensitive. I rub it right on my eyelids.

Yes, you can use it on eyelids. I only use it at the very top under my eyebrows, as it seems to have a little but of tightening effect.

I have used it around my eyes with no adverse issues. I don't see why you couldn't use it both, I found myself using this as a pick me up or treat of sorts. You put it on and let it foam so it takes a little while. I found I didn't want to take the time every night.

Yes, it can be used under the eye and eyelids. If I spend the day mostly indoors only walking in and out from my car running errands, etc.; I only use the elta MD once in the morning. If I plan to be outside exposed to the sun, I always wear sunglasses and a hat. When spending time on the beach or working in the yard, attending a picnic... I reapply every 2 hours which my dermatologist strongly recommends. Always reapply after swimming. My dermatologist explained that Zinc is a total block and Ulta MD has micronized the zinc allowing it to absorb quickly and not paint you white. There is another Elta MD product available (Elta MD UV Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 46) which you may be interested in that is a spray on; great when your spending time outdoors. I hope my response was helpful.

It states on the product directions not to use it around your eyes, but I rub a small amount under my eyes and on my crow's feet. I'm just very careful to not get it too close to my eyes. I would not use it on my upper eye lid. Use a specific eye cream for that. I also mix a couple of drops of vitamin E into the product. I put it in the palm of my hand and apply it with my fingers on my other hand. I wash my hands immediately after doing my routine. It is a very good product that my dermatologist sells in his office, but the price is considerably higher than it is on Amazon.

It's only recommended for use around the eyes. I haven't seen much effect around my eyes and the contact area is so small that I imagine it would take forever to use it on the neck or jowls.

I have only used it between my eyes. I have found it works if you use it consistently. At least on my frown line, which was getting quite deep. I use 2 triangles for this.

I only use it under my eyes or places on my face that I want to hide. I put it on over my foundation and it works fine. It is not a face lift mind you, but a nice subtle change in the appearance, but it's instant! I like it.

Yes, if it is an eye cream that is used on the delicate areas around the eye, then it can certainly be used over the entire face. In fact, I often do that with my eye creams, although it can get expensive.

It works very well for me for under eye wrinkles, but be very careful not to get it in your eyes.

This is one of the few eye creams that advertises that it can be used on eyelids as well as the lower eye area. I have been applying it to my eyelids and it seems to help tighten the skin and make my eyelids look smoother.

Yes it helps a lot in moisturisig the eyes. I am using it frequently and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day and has given much comfort without any side effects.

When ever you place something on your upper eye lids, it has the potential to run into your eyes. You do not want this product or most products to run into your eyes. The SkinMedica products are terrific!
