According to both Amazon customer reviews and Dr. Bhanusali, those with sensitive skin should steer clear of these. Because the eyelids are so delicate and the skin is already so thin in that area, it's probably unnecessary to exfoliate them. If you are noticing buildup around your eyes, it's best to see a doctor rather than taking it into your own hands. However, if you're still committed to trying the product, try a patch test first. Then, Dr. Bhanusali suggests applying a small amount at a time and building up your usage.
