skin problem, please help?

the area around my eyes is extremely dry and no matter how much moisturiser i apply, it gets dry and flaky and applying eye-make up becomes a daunting task. furthermore, i noticed i started getting little crow's feet and that really upset me since im only 21!! please help!! does vitamin e help? the area round the eyes is supposed to be very sensitive, is vitamin e too strong? please let me know as i got some capsules (to cut open and apply around the eyes) but im having second thoughts now. thanks!!
