Hmm, actually, I'm not sure! I could find out though ^_^

At quick glance this definitely contains comedogenic ingredients. Definite issues: Myristyl Alcohol, Myristyl Myristate, Lanolin Alcohol Possible issues: Dimethicone, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba), Tocopheryl Acetate Also I would avoid any product that contains Alcohol Denat, its a drying and irritating ingredient. I would suggest giving Cerave a try. I'm also dry but acne prone and this works for me.

If it works, let us know . Alternately, you could also try Shea Butter to prevent flakiness rather than cure it. I've been wondering about removing makeup with oil instead of my cleanser. It sounds more delicate on the eye area. I may have to give it a try .

Of course you can, oils can be used as moisturizers and also to clean your face (we call it oil cleansing method ). The only thing you have to make sure is it's pure virgin olive oil, first cold pressure. You only need a little, a few drops are enough. To remove the eye makeup, use a cotton pad and apply an equal amount of warm water and oil.

This works for me too, thanks White tea is even healthier to drink but as far as I know it has less caffenine so the results might be worse as a mask.

cool baths? i don't know. bandaging the skin might ease some of the discomfort but i wouldn't do anything your doc hasn't advised.

There are a lot of oil options really and as long as they are pure light oils, most are usable on skin. I prefer almond oil because it is so very light.

Make sure to put sunscreen on your eyelids and under your eyes during the day! (Sun damage is a huge cause of ageing). It just dawned on me that these parts get sun too! Just make sure to use a sunscreen that doesn't irritate like Vanicream. Everything irritates my eyes, but vanicream sunscreen doesn't. Also wait a moment to let the sunscreen sink in before applying eye primers. I use Clinique's "all about...

Hmmm... If there's salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in your cleanser and toner and you're exfoliating you could be drying your skin out. So I'd say eliminate one of them for a week until you find the culprit.
