Tretinoin made my upper eyelids crepey. What should I do? Please help (Photo)

Good2664
My upper eyelids are dark and to lighten them I started to use tretinoin with a moisturizer. After a couple of days my eyelids are full of wrinkles and crepey. I am 31 years old but my eyelids are looking like someone's eyelids who is in his 80s. What should I do? Is this just a first reaction and should I keep on using it or stop using it and let it heal? Is this damage permanent? Please help me and give an advice.
