I used to apply my Apple a Day to my eye area so it can have some spf protection but in the last year (was using their old stock that was still in airless pumps) they've revamped and changed their formula. The new formula pills and stings my eyes, so I'm on the hunt for a new eye cream that has a good spf or a really gentle spf moisturizer that doesn't sting my eyes.
1. High spf preferably, at least in the 30-50 broad spectrum.
2. Non whitening, doesn't ball or pill and sits nicely under eye makeup.
3. Light and non-irritating, doesn't sting eyes, doesn't give me milia.
4. Reasonable price for what it does. I don't mind spending a bit more but if I do, I expect it to do more than just moisturize and protect my eye area.
I'm willing to consider a variety of brands- high end, local and Asian. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Funny you mention this because I purchased a product specifically for this area for going away this year.
I picked it up from beautylish.com and it's called Ilia Moondance Translucent SPF20 Powder.
Angie from HotnFlashy recommended a brand like it but I couldn't find any in NZ cheap enough to justify the purchase so I ended up with the one above.
It's great for touching up during the day but it has other uses too such as the part line in your hair.
I specifically used it over my eye lids and top of the forehead and it was easy to reapply again and again without caking.
You don't have to get this one specifically, there are other brands out there that do the tinted versions (kinda like using mineral foundation really!). So technically, you could buy your own dispenser brush and load it with some mineral foundation that contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxides.

I'll check that out. I used to use the Sheisedo's Sun Protection Eye Cream Spf 25 but it's pricey and doesn't do anything as an eyecream other than just provide some spf and on a hot day it migrates.
I googled and found that there's a brand called Supergoop! that has an eyecream with an spf of 37 and they tell you exactly how much you need to get optimal protection, which is kinda vague with the other spf eye creams. The downside is finding a site that ships it here and it does cost around 30 USD.

So I ordered A Perfect World Age-Defense Eyecream with Spf 20 off Origins.com and had it shipped here via Youshop. I bulk bought 3 when they had their Black Friday sales of 25% off and 12 piece gwp set of deluxe minis if you spent over 75USD.
I had a bit of trouble with getting one of the items because I later found out it was unable to ship via Youshop because of the high alcohol content. I opted to have them take it out and have the rest shipped to me. I didn't get an advent calendar but the 11 minis could've been the contents of an advent calendar.

Oh there aren't very many with spf. And the few that have spf are pricey and most don't have an spf higher than 15. I think the reason why is because they need to formulate one that is effective and doesn't sting eyes and testing for the product is pricey so most companies don't really bother sadly.
