Moisturiser that won't cause eye sting?

I noticed my eyes stinging and watering after I use moisturiser around my eyes.
Can anyone who's had this problem recommend a daily use eye cream and also a mascara ?
Many thanks.

Simple products work best for me. And Clinique mascara.

Clinique and Korean brands are super good.
Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening gel is gentle enough to use with eczema; so is Purito Wonder Releaf Centella eye cream unscented.
Clio make a tubing mascara called Kill Lash, it’s excellent.
Etude House, Isntree, Cosrx and Round Lab make great face creams for significantly cheaper prices than western brands.

I have really sensitive skin and use a separate eye cream. At the moment I've got both the CeraVe eye cream and the Simple eye gel on the go. The Simple gel is cooling and calming and feels great if your eyes are puffy from lack of sleep (as mine are every morning!).

Thanks for that.
I tried Simple moisturiser this week but unfortunately had the same eye sting problem with that too.
I take a look at the Clinique mascara.

SPF in moisturiser causes eye sting for me, does yours have spf in it?

I was using an Olay one that had SPF so tried the Simple brand. It doesn't say SPF on the bottle so I'm assuming not. It still made my eyes sting.
I've been looking at Aveeno today which seems to be completely natural ingredients. I think I'll give that a try.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Inkey List: their Vitamin B, C and E moisturiser and their Peptide one - I've had both a use them right up to my eyes and even over them sometimes. No stinging at all for me.
