This is one of the most common symptoms of an eye pencil allergy. Your eyes might become red and itchy, causing a lot of discomfort. This happens due to an allergic reaction to one or more ingredients in the eye pencil.
Another common symptom is swelling of the eyelids. This usually happens within a few hours of applying the eye pencil. If you notice unusual puffiness around your eyes after using an eye pencil, it might be due to an allergic reaction.
An allergic reaction to an eye pencil can also cause excess tearing, as well as a discharge from the eyes. This symptom generally accompanies redness and itching.
Blurred vision is another possible symptom of an eye pencil allergy. It is caused by the watering and discharge of mucus from the eyes caused by the allergy, leading to distorted vision.
Eye pain is a serious symptom that should not be ignored. It can be caused by the body's immune response to allergens in the eye pencil.
An allergic reaction to eye pencils can also increase sensitivity to light, a condition known as photophobia. This can cause discomfort or pain when exposed to bright lights.

Identify Potential Symptoms of Eye Pencil Allergy
Perform an Allergy Patch Test
The Patch test is a method used to determine if a specific substance causes allergic inflammation of a patient's skin. To perform a patch test with an eye pencil:
Get an Allergy Testing
If you continue to experience symptoms but are still unsure of the cause, consider seeking a professional allergy test. An allergy specialist will be able to conduct skin prick tests or blood tests to pinpoint the exact substances that are causing your allergic reactions.
Consult a Dermatologist
A dermatologist is a medical specialist that can accurately diagnose your skin condition. By carrying out a specialized examination, a dermatologist may be able to determine if what you are experiencing is a reaction to makeup or if it is due to another skin condition.
Conclusion
If you discover that you indeed have an allergy to eye pencils, consider switching to hypoallergenic brands. Always perform a patch test when trying out a new product to prevent allergic reactions.

Before buying or using an eye pencil, always check the ingredients. Make sure it does not contain any substances that you are allergic to. Common allergenic substances found in eye pencils include nickel, parabens and fragrances. If you can, opt for hypoallergenic eye pencils.
Before using an eye pencil on your eyelids, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product on the skin of your inner arm and wait for 24 hours. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to use. If you notice any redness, swelling, itching or pain, avoid the product.
Eye pencils can harbor bacteria which may cause allergic reactions. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene is imperative. Sharpen your eye pencil regularly to remove old product, clean your sharpener with alcohol and never share your eye pencil with others.
If you have sensitive eyes or have experienced allergic reactions to eye makeup in the past, it is better to choose eye pencils over liquid, gel, or cream eyeliners. Pencil eye liners are less likely to cause allergies or irritations.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
