Tretinoin will help you with fine wrinkling under your eyes, but will not replace lost volume, which creates the tear trough deformity.Have you tried Beletero? It fills the tear trough with less swelling or irregularity.All the best, Dr. Clark

While tretinoin will help with fine lines and produce some collagen, it will not fill in deep areas of the face that are volume deficient, such as the tear trough.  Hyaluronic acid fillers like Belotero and Restylane are best for that problem.
