Dry skin around eyes

7 replies

What would you recommend for sorting out dry skin around your eyes? I've got dry, flaky bits right underneath the lash line that make my fine lines look even worse. Too much rubbing of tired eyes! I wear concealer so I'm just dotting it around gently. What I can use at night that will help repair the dry bits? I've just run out of Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream and can't really afford a new pot at the moment.

I swear by loreal revitalift eye cream. I'm sure it's very similar to the Lancôme hydrazen cream (not the gel). It's very rich but not greasy, and not that expensive. I'd probably try to get rid of the flakes, maybe a gentle wipe with a muslin / cotton pad with cleanser / water.

A-Derma epithiliates

It's brilliant and cheap!

I have a bit of dry skin round my eyes, I find Avene soothing eye contour cream works well. It's about £8 quid a tube from boots.

I second Avene! Also the A-Derma one seems good - very similar to Avene (same manufacturer, same ideas) but made with oats which are fab for dry skin / eczema.

Bought the Avene one and my eyes are already sighing with relief. Thank you!
