This YouTube short (creator: Shereene Idriss; uploaded 2024-06-19) is a brief single-speaker product review warning viewers against buying an SPF-marketed eye cream. The speaker states the product is 15 mL sold for $60 but only provides SPF 15, contains 5% zinc, lacks a drug facts label (a legal/labeling concern), and appears to have been discontinued yet remains available at a drugstore. The speaker advises using regular sunscreen (or a thicker product underneath) or sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection, reports feeling dizzy, and says they will return the product.

I am kind of shocked. Okay, because this is supposedly an SPF eye cream, 15 mls for $60 and it's only SPF 15, number one. Number two, there's no drug fact label and when you're claiming a sunscreen, you should have a drug fact label on there. I guess by law if you're saying it's going to protect your skin. Number three, it only has 5% zinc. I believe in it. But number four, what's more interesting is that this product has been discontinued and it's still being sold for 60 bucks at a drugstore. So don't waste money on this. Just use regular sunscreen. If you don't can't tolerate sunscreen, maybe put something thicker underneath and use it lightly around your eyes. Or use sunglasses with uva UVB protection. I got dizzy. Let me know if you got questions below. I gotta return this. I'm not buying this.
