Thank you for your question. A chemical peel is one of the easiest ways to improve the appearance of the skin. The peel will leave the skin looking smoother and younger because it takes off the damaged top layers of the skin. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and please express your concerns to your surgeon. Best wishes,

Hello Sienna32,

Thank you for your question. Having the 3 Step Stimulation Peel done should help strengthen the skin under the eye area. The melamin and melamix would not cause thinning of the skin. When applying the melamix mixed with the tretinoin I would recommend not applying to close to the under eye area. Your using some great products and the 3 Step Stimulation Peel is a great chemical peel. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Hope this helps. Dr Faraz
