So first of all I have an oily T zone,but recently on my right eyelid there is a dry patch at a certain point.
I am using my face moisturiser - Cethapil and I also purchased an eye oil to use everyday to help with this dry patch on my eyelid.
Whatever I use or how much I moisturise the skin is peeling whatever I do. If I apply makeup it' s very annoying as it is showing through no matter how well I moisturised before applying my makeup.
I have also stopped putting any shadows because it's showing up very ugly with this dry patch.
What do you think what shall I do to get rid of it or how can I treat it? :/

Looks as if it could potentially be Eczema or Psoriasis. Certainly it could be nothing more than excessive dryness or Dermatitis, but the tell-tale accumulation of flakes, often referred to as 'scaling' suggests it *may* be more than simple dryness.
You should see your Physician or a Licensed Derm.
I have Psoriasis and lids are so sensitive that really, you should get something specifically for use that close to the tear duct and on the lids. I'm not diagnosing you, but I am saying it *appears* to be more than dryness, and there is the potential to spread it, even if it is just dryness or irritation.... and then that gets really tough.
That Bright Eye has refined Coconut Oil as its main ingredient. Refining the oil removes all the good stuff you want in a a facial oil. It also contains heavily fragranced oils that can irritate sensitive skin, especially the delicate eye area. (It also is not using C effectively.) I'd ditch that entirely and use either a first-aid ointment safe for the eye from the Pharmacy (you can talk to the Pharmacist) or apply Aquaphor until you can get to the Dr. Derms and Esties use Aquaphor in-office on the lids and the entire eye area, or any area they want to protect skin all the time; it will act as a sealant and protect the lid, but will also help skin calm itself.
I wouldn't be putting anything else on my lid, period, including foundation or primer, soaps, etc.
I think your best bet is to see a trusted doctor just to have someone properly inspect the eye area...and certainly discontinue using that oil you've posted the lid. I know it's awful to waste money on a product, but you can use it up on rough feet, knees, or elbows. It will do nothing to brighten your eyes or anything else, unfortunately. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you ever so much for your reply! I will definitely stop putting that oil on it. I am going to a pharmacist tomorrow to see if there are any creams they could be able to give me for my problem. If not, I am going to see my doctor just to be on the safe side, it is just that it's hard to get away from my work to get the doctors appointment , but will also see what the pharmacist will say about it. Sometimes it is not that flaky, but I made the picture when it is very dry.
