Asked By:Yassyoussa in Paris, TX

Hello, I'm 31 and I started using retin a cream 0.05% 1 month ago for anti aging purposes specially around the eyes. I'm able to use it every day ( my face, neck and a tiny tiny bit mixed with moisturizer around the eyes) with no irritation, just some peeling. The problem is on my eyelids. My skin there is extremely crepey like an old lady and I don't know if it's normal. Did the retin a detroyed my eyelids or it is going to come back to normal after some time ? Thank you a lot.
