Dry skin...on my eyes?

[MisStarrlight]

So lately I've been getting these flakey patches around the inside of my eyelids. My regular moisturizer burns my eyes so I'm needing something else.

While I have no problem convincing other people that they need Moisture-Feed Eye, I don't want to spend $27.50 on a whim (since I can't get a discount anymore-see this thread for my discount woes)

So what I'm asking, I guess-will Moisture Feed take care of the scaleys or is there another solution?
Here's a picture to give you an idea of where I'm talking. You can kinda see that it's dry, but the flakey patches got washed out with the camera....ignore the weirdo blending, I was trying something new

I get this problem too. Mine is caused when I get a reaction to an eyeshadow. I use the lip conditioner but it takes a few days to clear up.

same here ( about the reaction the e/s- usually red based e/s for me) and I just try to lay off the eye makeup for a few days and keep it heavily moisturized

I use avon's anew eye cream. I put a bunch of cream on my eye before I go to bed. (dont blend it in) and in the morning, I wake up with nothing!
I hate the winter! stupid winter skin!
im sure you can do it with pretty much any eye cream too.

I've had the scaly dry eyelid thing too! I was told that it can be excema. However, I started using different cleansers and a vitamin E cream, and it hasn't come back since. I used to take off my eye makeup with baby wipes and a drugstore foaming cleanser (I think it was Clean & Clear) - never again! MUCH too harsh. Now I use an olive oil-based cleanser (DHC's stuff is nice, MAC has an oil-based cleanser as well) and my skin is sooo much better. So it could be a reaction to your makeup, or it could be a reaction to how you REMOVE your makeup.

I have had this problem all Winter long. It's carried into Spring as well. I also use a wash cloth to get the flaky skin off my eye. I don't rub hard or push in the eye area. This has helped to get rid of it. I just wish it would warm up here!

Thanks guys! I'll definitely try the diprobase stuff. It's nice to know that I'm not losing my mind or have some crazy skin disease or something.
Funny enough, I use the Clean & Clear foaming cleanser....maybe it's time for a new makeup remover/cleanser. Any cleanser in particular that you'd recommend (that works as well & is as cheap-I can barely afford MAC, let alone Clinique)?
