26 & used tretinoin since 21, does it cause skin thinning? (Photo)

Question

I have used tretnoin since I was 21 and I have amazing glass skin from it after being prescribed for skin issues. An injectior told me this that I was seeing about under eye filler since I've noticed lots of skin thinning there. I'm 26, is this true?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Tretinoin is known for its benefits in promoting skin renewal and thickness. However, the skin around the eyes is delicate, and factors like aging and genetics can contribute to thinning. While tretinoin may improve overall skin quality, under-eye thinning is a complex concern.

Consult with a qualified dermatologist or a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation. They can assess your skin condition, consider your history with tretinoin, and provide personalized advice on addressing under-eye concerns, which may include various treatment options such as fillers or other skincare approaches.

Best of luck !
