The Missha eye cream pills and interferes with makeup — what causes this and how can I prevent it?

Eye cream pilling is a common issue, especially when layering skincare and makeup. Here are the possible causes and how to avoid them:

Possible Causes:
Too rich or oily a texture not suitable for daytime use.

Applying too much — eye cream should be used sparingly.

Incorrect application — rubbing instead of gently tapping can prevent absorption.

Not allowing enough time to absorb — applying makeup too soon after the cream can cause it to roll off.

Incompatibility with concealer or foundation — especially when one is water-based and the other silicone-based.

How to Avoid It:
Use a tiny amount of cream (a rice-sized amount is enough for both eyes).

Gently tap it in with your fingertips — do not rub.

Wait 5–10 minutes before applying concealer or foundation.

Choose light, gel-based eye creams if makeup is a key part of your morning routine.

If needed, blot excess cream with a tissue before makeup.
