I have very sensitive skin and eyes, but I seem to have a problem with mascara in particular. Every time I wear it it’s similar to feeling like having alcohol / bleach or some other strong chemical near my eye. Not really a burning sensation but a very raw / sensitive / dry feeling. Does anyone else have a similar issue and a good recommendation? Very appreciated.
I don’t have this issue, but try all-natural products. Make sure to not get waterproof, because I heard those contain more chemicals.

My eyes stopped itching when started using tarte mascara. Its pretty hypoallergenic
Hi. I have very sensitive eyes and have the same kind of sensation you describe with most drugstore mascaras and quite a few high end. The ones that work for me are: Chanel volume, Lacome Mr Big and Benefit Bag Gal Bang. Haven’t found a waterproof one yet that works for me. I hope this helps.
