I would suggest using Melarase PM followed by Melapads every other day and Replenish cream once weekly. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thanks for your query. The skin under the eyes is thinner as compared to the skin around the eyes, so the concentration used should be lesser around the per orbital area. You can use glycolic 3% once a day on daily bases giving gaps of few days in between. For more detailed consult you can send in your picture. Hope it helps.All The Best

AHA lotion at 10% is strong, if you develop problems you can dilute this with your moisturiser. The eyelids are the thinnest skin areas on your face. Stay safe, all the best Dr Davin Lim. Dermatologist. Brisbane.
