Yes. You are happy with the results on your face so absolutely you should try this around the eyes. The skin is very thin here so avoid over treatment (and of course avoid accidental instillation in the eyes).
Hello. We tell our patients to use Retin A "as tolerated". This means that if it making you too irritated or flaky, then you need to use it less often. Overusing Retin A can cause too much trauma to the skin and be very uncomfortable. The skin is meant to...
