Retin A for Eye Area - my Wrinkles Are Worse Now?

Faustiniana
have been using retin a 0.005% and atralin around my eye area and my wrinkles seem to be worse now and my skin there is thinner. Wasn't Retin A supposed to make the skin thicker in that area and to minimize wrinkles? I don't know if it makes it worse before it gets better or if I should discontinue using it around the eyes. Thanks
