Color-correcting sun protection for the delicate eye area / 0.23 oz

Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy is a unique, color-correcting sunscreen designed specifically for the eye area — and we think it’s a must for many of us.

As Dara mentioned on Substack, the eye area is extra-vulnerable to the sun and the issues that tend to merrily skip alongside sun exposure (hyperpigmentation, loss of elasticity, redness, lines). But most of us tend not to wear sunscreen around the eyes because that skin is so sensitive, and there are so few sunscreens designed specifically for the eye area; it’s a tricky thing to do.

When something’s tricky to do, we always suggest looking to an expert to tackle it — and we couldn’t think of a better sun care expert than Colorescience.

Total Eye came to us highly recommended by a lovely SF customer whose dermatologist first encouraged her to try it, and she now uses it daily. We think we all should, actually. Here’s why we’re such fans of this vegan, fragrance-free formula:

- It provides excellent, mineral-based broad spectrum sun protection, SPF 35 / PA +++, with zinc and titanium dioxide.

- It’s been both dermatologist tested and ophthalmologist reviewed, and deemed safe for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes.

- It’s available in four color-correcting shades that cover the Fitzpatrick scale all from I to VI — while it’s not a full-coverage, full-fledged concealer, it’s probably all you’ll need for light, everyday coverage (especially if you’re using something like the Eye Serum to tackle deeper issues).

- While it’s not a replacement for an eye cream or serum, it’s lightly hydrating and contains a bundle of ingredients designed to support the puff-fighting, line-fighting, laxity-fighting capabilities of any eye treatment you use along with it.

Like our Eye Serum, it’s also designed to be used all around the eye area, which we love. To get full SPF 35 coverage, use ¼ pump for each eye (check out the detailed “To Use” instructions below).

How to choose a shade:
Its four neutral shades are designed to neutralize and color-correct the following skin tones: Fair for Fitzpatrick skin types I-II (skin that usually burns and minimally tans in the sun), Medium for Fitzpatrick II-IV (sometimes burns, tans uniformly), Tan for Fitzpatrick III-V (rarely burns, always tans well), and Deep for Fitzpatrick Types IV-VI (never burns, tans very easily).
If you’re deciding between shades on this one, order our Custom Sample Service to try the two that you’re mulling over.
