Eye creams with SPF

Does anyone know an eye cream for daytime that has an SPF but DOESN'T give you little balls of pilling flaking product? Budget is, sadly, more high-street than £££, although I'm willing to splash out on something exceptional.
TIA.

Dermalogica does one, but it leaves that annoying pilling. And I think Superdrug does one that's similar in effect.

I have used the Fade Out eye cream with spf 20. I wouldn’t recommend it, the consistency is very much like sun cream and it makes my eyes water. I noticed that there are a few other brands but I haven’t tried them, the Hello Sunday one has good reviews.

I find it odd that all the skin experts recommend spf for anti-aging and even though eyes are first to show signs of aging, there are few eye creams including sun protection.

The new Ultrasun formula doesn't. Once a day. Really recommend. Doesn't run into eyes either ... The old formula was terrible for pilling ...

I think you can get the new formula on QVC. Sometimes have offers ...

I use eucerin in the gold/ beige tube.

Spf 20, doesn't flake or make my eyes water. I really like it.

Do you find it hydrating Ichangedmynameonce? Is it a once a day or do you need to reapply in day? Always looking out for good SPF eye creams :)

Definitely hydrating and I've only ever applied once a day.

Often on offer at boots
