Can low strength Retin A cream be used thicken thin lower eyelid skin?

amonavis
I have dark circles (vascular not pigment) and thin eyelid skin. Can the use of Tretinoin 0.025 cream , which I would then dilute with a bland moistirizer, assist in thickening this fragile skin over time, so that the dark circles improve and skin quality improve a bit? Have any of you seen an improvement in patients by doing this? Thanks
