Question

How can I treat the wrinkles under my eyes? I am only 29 and they seem bad! I also have darker skin around my eyes so need to wear concealer. This just makes the wrinkles worse as the concealer comes off where the lines are and the lines show darker than the unwrinkled skin. I have re started using tretinoin 0.1% (diluted with moisturizer). Would using some around the eyes help?

Many thanks for your question. 
Based on your photos, I would suggest two treatments: 
Pigmentation - invest in a cosmeceutical skincare range such as ZO Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi. This has excellent results at treating issues such as pigmentation, rosacea, acne, lines and wrinkles, sun damage and a host of other skin issues. Volume - look for a medically trained practitioner i.e. doctor who uses only FDA regulated fillers to restore the volume in your tear troughs. It is imperative to have someone highly trained as this is more of a high risk area. FDA approval means the product is verified as both safe and effective and has proven this under strict clinical studies. It is far superior to a CE mark. As an example, over 180 fillers can be used in the UK with the CE mark. However, only 8 of these are FDA approved. Just be aware of who you are trusting your face (and eyes!) to! 
I hope this helps and best of luck with your chosen treatment
