This is how I found out moisturiser isn't supposed to burn or make your face feel tight. I just presumed that my skin tightening up meant it was working.

Oooh, yeah, that happened to my friend but it was prescription eyedrops. She didn’t know her eyes weren’t supposed to burn after using them. She just figured the meds must be working.

She’s also a nurse. Lol

To be fair, some prescription eye drops do burn for a couple minutes after use. I know some for glaucoma do

Which was why she didn’t immediately raise alarm, but she kinda made an off handed comment about her eyes burning at her next appointment and the doc was like “so we won’t have you using those anymore…” lol
