I have unfortunately, had multiple eye surgeries over the last couple of years, and my eyelids are very sensitive from all the drops that I use. I am very thankful that I found this moisturizer, which keeps the skin on my eyelids from being so fragile, while at the same time not bothering my sensitive eyes. Any other moisturizer, I've tried to use, even those claiming to be gentle or hyper allergenic, have irritated my eyes greatly. This is an excellent product and even at the relatively high cost I consider it to be a fantastic value.
