Mascara can irritate the eyes for a few reasons. Dr. DeRosa explains that a common culprit is the preservatives in mascara. These ingredients can cause irritation to both your eyes and the delicate skin around your eyes. “Mascara can also irritate the eyes and cause infection by harboring a growth of bacteria within the applicator (this is why I recommend replacing every three months),” Dr. DeRosa adds. Dr. Brissette is a fan of Almay mascaras. “I love that this formula is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, ophthalmologist-tested, and is great for people with sensitive eyes,” she says. The most common ingredients that can cause eye irritation include synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, coal tar, polyethylene glycol, and formaldehyde. “If possible, it is best to avoid waterproof mascara because it can dry out your lashes, making them more brittle and prone to breakage,” suggests Jennifer Tsai, a board-certified optometrist and owner of LINE OF SIGHT in New York City. Dr. DeRosa feels the same. “‘Clean’ does not give you a real measure of what is in the mascara and whether it is better for sensitive eyes. 'Clean’ and ‘natural’ ingredients still can be irritating to sensitive eyes,” she explains. Instead of looking for a mascara that claims it's clean, she recommends opting for a mascara that claims it is hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist tested.Just like any makeup, mascara does expire. The more important issue is the growth of bacteria in the bottle and the risk of infection, especially if you are using preservative-free mascara. Dr. DeRosa recommends throwing out your mascara every three months (or sooner). This mascara from Èyes Are The Story was designed specifically with eye health in mind. Dr. Rose notes that this female-founded, eye-friendly mascara is a breath of fresh air for optometrists everywhere. “It was a pioneer product, launched intentionally with ocular safety in mind,” she explains. “Not only are the ingredients super clean, but each set comes with three mini tubes, which makes staying compliant with frequent cosmetic replacement (so you don't get unwanted bacteria buildup) a breeze.” If you absolutely must apply a waterproof mascara for a special occasion, we recommend opting for the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Waterproof Mascara. This brand is a leader in products for sensitive skin, so it makes sense that their mascaras would be a first choice for folks with sensitive eyes, too.
