Your sensitivity is probably due to the CO2 laser. It is a very good treatment for lower eyelid skin, but it can cause sensitivity for months especially if you introduce topical products too soon which cause a prolonged underlying mild dermatitis. The thinning of the skin is probably not due to the laser, but the natural aging process. CO2 laser does not thin the skin, but rather leads to thicker more youthful dermal features microscopically. The real concern with the lower eyelids in doing too much is the creation of lid retraction and scleral show, too much of the white portion of the eye showing. I would be very cautious what you do in the future or you may be embarking on a painful road. I would try to use gentle products on the lower eyelids and only use products that do not cause redness and irritation. Of course all of this should be carried out under the direction of a qualified surgeon or dermatologist.
