Dry red flaky skin under eyes

4 replies

I’ve recently developed dry red flaky skin under my eyes. If I put corrector or concealer on top, it just flakes off again. I’m 38, have always had nice skin and never used much skincare or worn foundation but in past months I have noticed some lines and creases around my eyes. Can anyone recommend a really good eye cream that will relieve the dry red flakiness under the eyes and maybe firm up the skin around them? Are there anti-ageing products that work? Should I have started using them earlier??

Rosehip oil will work. I used to get this, I stopped using moisturisers with irritating chemicals. Order from an aromatherapy wholesale site online.

This is specifically for dry skin around the eyes and it doesn't irritate. It's the best eye cream I've found.

You haven’t changed make up or anything have you? If so it could be an allergic reaction.

I have horrendously dry skin around my eyes - and find Bobbi Brown’s ultra eye cream is the bomb (far far more moisturisering than keihls avocado cream which is the one everyone goes on about). I have eczema etc and it doesn’t irritate me. But it is more expensive that either of PPs solutions so try those first!

Thanks! I haven’t changed anything I use. Am going to try all these suggestions in order I think!
