Curex does not treat this allergen

One of the key symptoms of an eye shadow allergy is red, itchy eyes. This is as a result of the irritation caused by the allergen.
Swelling and puffiness, especially around the eyelids, is another common symptom of an eye shadow allergy. This can result in the eyes feeling heavy and uncomfortable.
Excessive tearing or watery eyes is a common symptom of an allergic reaction to eye shadow. This is because the body is trying to flush out the allergen.
Blurred vision may occur if an allergic reaction to eye shadow causes the eyes to produce too much tear fluid, which interferes with the clarity of vision.
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, is a symptom that can occur with an allergic reaction to eye shadow. It means that colors, lights, or glare are overwhelming to the sight.
Skin eruptions or rash on and around the eyelids could indicate an allergic reaction. It's typically characterized by redness, bumps, itchiness, and sometimes oozing or scaly patches.
Recognize your symptoms?

Identifying if you have an allergy to eye shadows involves recognizing the specific symptoms that occur when you use these products. These symptoms are usually localized to the eye area. Additionally, you may notice that these symptoms improve when you stop using eye shadow, and worsen when you start using it again. Below are the steps to help identify an eye shadow allergy.
Observe Symptoms After Using Eye Shadow
Stop Using Eye Shadow
Re-Introduce the Eye Shadow
Consult a Dermatologist

Hypoallergenic brands formulate their products without common allergens, reducing the chances of eye shadows causing an allergic reaction. It's always wise to look into the ingredients used in the products you buy. Check for brands that advertise their products as hypoallergenic or safe for sensitive eyes.
Prior to applying a new product to your eyes, carry out a patch test on the underside of your arm. This can help identify if you have an allergy to any of the compounds in the eyeshadow. Wait for at least 24 hours to see if any reaction occurs before using the product on your eyes.
Dirty makeup brushes can harbor bacteria, dust and old makeup residue that can irritate your eyes and cause allergic reactions. It’s essential to frequently clean your brushes with a gentle soap or specific brush cleaner to remove these potential irritants.
Glittery eyeshadows may seem appealing, but the fragments of glitter can scratch the sensitive skin around the eye, causing irritation and potential allergic reaction. Even if you’re not allergic to any specific ingredient in the eyeshadow, the physical irritation from the glitter can cause an inflammatory response.

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.
