Have sensitive eyes but want them protected against the elements?

You’re not the only one!

Read what our some of our customers have said about EYELID DEFENCE and open up your eyes to new defensive solution for this sensitive skin!

I am an eye cream person and like to buy products specifically created for this area of the face. This is the first sun protection product that I have seen that is specifically for the eye area and it doesn’t disappoint. I use it every day and love the fact that it was created by an eye doctor for this area.

I started using this just on my eyes but now use it on my whole face. You only need a little bit as it goes a long way so it’s great value. I have three teenage grand daughters and we now all use it as it really doesn’t sting and with their sweaty days at school it doesn’t run and protects their whole face. I would recommend.

I’m an outdoor runner and don’t like wearing hats or sunglasses when running but do want to protect my skin. I have sensitive eyes and so was very sceptical that the claim of ‘won’t sting your eyes’ would actually ring true. However I can say that this actually doesn’t sting your eyes, even when I get sweaty. I now use it regularly and completely over my eyelids.

I use Eyelid Defence every day to not only protect my eyelid area, but my whole face. It’s easy to apply and I apply it completely over my eyelids, and it really doesn’t sting. It’s become a part of my morning routine and the fact that it is developed by an eye surgeon gives me peace of mind.

Love using this cream. It’s perfect under make up, has an illuminating effect and doesn’t sting. Love that it doubles as a moisturiser, suncream and has anti-aging benefits. It’s made my morning routine more simple.

Rachel38

This product is a winner! I can use over my whole face including my eyes and it helps me with the only two things (protects against the sun and moisturises) that will actually impact aging. It goes everywhere with me as the pump is secure in my bag and doesn’t leak. Plus I love the blue bottle – it’s always easy to see!

It’s Sun Awareness Week, 11 to 17 May, so here’s a LIDLOVE thank-you from us: free worldwide shipping on Eyelid Defence until Sunday 17 May.

Comment “LIDLOVE” below and we’ll DM you the code.

Every single one of these has been said to me in clinic. Multiple times.

We’ve gotten very good at slip-slop-slap on the body. But the eye area is where the misinformation still lives, mostly because the eye area looks fine. Until one day, it doesn’t.

A bonus myth that didn’t make the carousel: “My contact lenses have UV protection, so I’m covered.” UV-blocking contacts only protect the part of the eye they actually cover. They do nothing for the white of the eye, the conjunctiva, or, most importantly, the eyelid skin around it. They are not a substitute for sunglasses.

It’s Sun Awareness Week, 11 to 17 May, so this feels like the post I should have written years ago.

For something so straightforward, the eye area is the part of the SPF conversation Australians get wrong most often. I see the consequences of that in clinic constantly, and I see them turn up earlier than most people expect.

So here’s the no-frills, eye-surgeon-approved version. Six habits. Most of them take less than ten seconds to add to what you already do.

One detail worth expanding from slide 1: lens darkness is not UV protection. The AS/NZS 1067 marking on the label is what matters. A pair of dark, unrated sunglasses can actually do more harm than good. The dark lens dilates your pupil, then lets UV straight through.

And one for the parents: a child’s eye lens is clearer than an adult’s, which means more UV reaches the back of the eye. Until they’re around 18, sunglasses and brimmed hats aren’t just a “nice to have”, they’re a foundational habit.

Save this. Tag a friend who needs it.

It’s Sun Awareness Week (11-17th May), and the eye area has been the missing chapter in the SPF conversation in Australia for years.

We’re the country with the highest skin cancer rates in the world. Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. And yet most face SPF tutorials skip straight past the eyelids - the thinnest, most delicate, most exposed skin on the entire face.

That’s the gap I started @drbenlahoodcosmetics to close. Not by replacing the dermatology conversation, but by adding the eye surgeon’s perspective to it.

A few things I didn’t have time to fit in the video:
When you’re choosing sunglasses, look for AS/NZS 1067 compliance and a category 2, 3 or 4 lens. Wraparound styles block significantly more peripheral UV than small frames. And cloud cover is not your friend - up to 80% of UV gets through.

Watch the reel for the five things I wish more people knew. Save for the next time someone asks why you wear sunnies on a cloudy day.

Most people have a shelf full of skincare and still nothing specifically designed for the most delicate skin on their face.

Eyelid Defence was built to fix exactly that. Every ingredient chosen with purpose, every benefit earned. From a surgeon who knows this skin better than anyone.

It does a lot. And your eyelids have needed all of it for a long time.

Drop ‘LIDLOVE’ in the comments and we will send it straight to you with free shipping (for a limited time!)
