Will sweatbands stop me getting sweat in my eye when working out?

Sorry for such a random question but I'm quite a sweater during working out and I always have the issue that sweat drips into my eye which then makes my eye sting and I have to keep stopping to wipe my face and eye. I'm debating trying an 80s style sweat band around my forehead but I think I'll look like an idiot I'm not sure if they will actually work. Could anyone recommend one or give me any ideas? Thanks

A smear of Vaseline along the brow line keeps sweat out of my eyes when running in hot sun (can't wait to have that problem again!)

I have a few microfibre head tubes (aka buffs) that are aimed at keeping my neck and lower face warm when running. However, they make excellent headbands and emergency handkerchiefs

Buffs and other similar headbands/ scarves can also absorb sweat as well as being used in different ways.

Thanks, I've been looking At the more traditional thick towering type ones thinking they will be better. Alas I'm not near an H&M so it may have to be whatever I can get online

If it's an absorbent one. H&M have some cheap ones at the moment, some are elastic material to keep your hair out of the face but the sweat band type ones would work for this i think.
