Dry skin under eyes- any ideas what can help?

[Spookey80]

I have suffered from this for years, union eyelids and under eyes. Very sensitive skin so even e45 makes them itch, sting and turn red and puffy. Its not excema. Any ideas gratefully received. The more natural the better, thanks.

Not long ago I bought some Trilogy Rosehip Oil, to use as a face moisturiser/serum type thing, but after using it for a while decided it was a bit too rich for my face.

Tried it just under my eyes only (v dry and dehydrated, fine lines, sensitive), just one tiny drop patted under both eyes and it has really soothed, plumped and softened the skin there.

My eyes have been streaming as soon as I leave the house recently and I ended up with very sore, cracked and scaly bits under them.

I was using Vit E oil at bedtime but one night while pissed and pissed off I slathered on 8 hour cream and my eyes were much better in the morning apart from being puffy and bloodshot.

I have kept on doing this and the skin is much better. Not sure if it would work for everyone and is probably the wrong thing to be using but it has helped me.

Good luck finding something.

Oilatum kids cream - only thing that cleared mine up - much better than E45 which stings. Now scale gone i find clinique all about eyes has stopped it coming back (only cream that has!) - but only use this once they're better

Thank you all, that's funny I saw the trilogy oil in boots just yesterday- was looking at it as trilogy was sold everyone when I was in Australia and I used it then. Much cheaper there though. All good tips, and the Clinique might be good for keeping away. Keep wanting to try an eye cream, but always too sore, so thanks. Will pop to boots tomorrow. Thanks.
