Eye cream recommendations - eczema

9 replies

AThroneOfLies · 06/02/2022 13:39

Don’t know if it’s something I’ve been using but the last few weeks I’ve noticed the skin around my eyes has become very dry, especially in the corners, put concealer on this morning and it looked awful as the skin is very bumpy and scaly looking, I’m not sure if it is eczema or something else (I’ve never had eczema anywhere else)
Can anyone recommend a decent eye cream please?

I used to get horrible, itchy, scaly skin on one eyelid around this time of year. No cream could sort it. I then realised it was the soap I was using on my face. Homemade artisan stuff. Reverted to baby soap/unfragranced soap and the skin cleared. Something is irritating your skin. The job is to find what it is.

Hmm could be hand sanitiser or the soap at work, will try and keep a diary.
I’ve got some double base here so will use that until I can get my hands on some epaderm

I have very sensitive eyes with itchy eyelids and I’ve found Up Circle eye cream from Holland & Barrett or Amazon does the job. I can’t be without it.

I've been using Cetraben for a recent flare up. Bought in Boots. Also taking an anti-histamine daily which is making a big difference to the itchiness.

You have all my sympathy because I have excema/dermatitis all over my body right now. I am managing it by wiping what appears to be the centre of infection with hydrogen peroxide two or three times a day, and dabbing a topical rx corticosteroid directly onto the flaring areas.

For very dry skin around the eyes, 50/50 emollient (available over the counter) is cheap and excellent at sealing in moisture. It's a greasy texture and lots before bed for baby soft skin.
