Week 8 of Obagi Nu derm system: Wrinkles are much worse. Will this get better or have I cause long term damage?

pskadvtbbNov 5, 2016
I am using the Obagi Nu derm system (AM: Cleanser, toner, Clear, Exfoderm, hydrate, sunshield; PM: Cleanser, toner, Clear, Blender, Tretinoin0.05%, Hydrate ). I am in week 8. My hyper-pigmentation has all gone but my wrinkles around my eyes are so much worse. I am only 29 and look much older. I never had these wrinkle before. Will these go away? Have a damaged my skin long term? I am also still peeling, will this stop soon? My doctor has said to continue with the system and this will get better.
