I recently used a Retinol eye creme with encapsulated retinol nightly for 3 weeks. On the last night I noticed my under eyes were super dry, looked aged and were covered in deep and new fine lines. I have been moisturizing around the clock but the dryness seems to still remain. Slightly better but I feel thats more my optimism than the truth. Will this ever go away? Are these lines going to remain this deep? Please help! Thanks in advance.
Are these effects permanent? I will stop using aklief there for now, but is this just a tolerance issue or did I do permanent damage to my under eye skin? I was applying it in that area for only a week, but Ive been using aklief for a few months now. I also started using The Ordinary eye cream under my eyes in the last week. I moisturize and wear sunscreen everyday. I noticed the wrinkles because my eyes felt really dry and droopy today.
I have used tretnoin since I was 21 and I have amazing glass skin from it after being prescribed for skin issues. An injectior told me this that I was seeing about under eye filler since I've noticed lots of skin thinning there. I'm 26, is this true?

Female 180 cm 27 years old 54 kg Ive been using tret every night for two years (stieva A 0.05%) Im not sure if its related to the tret but I have developed what looks to be pigmentation or sun spots under both eyes. I do put the tret under my eyes. (just Until my cheek bone, which is where these pigmented spots are ) I no longer peel from tret at all.
Hi. I had tried an retinol cream for under eyes dark circles, and I went on applying it for 6 months, day and night. Now I got an issue where I am unable to apply any cream (not even soap) under eyes, because I'm getting eye irritation. I'm having this issue for more than a year. I don't have any skin irritation where I applied the cream, but only eye irritation. Can you please let me know what happened? Why is my skin allowing creams/soap into my eyes even though I didn't put it on my eyes.
I currently take Epiduo gel 0.1% / 2.5% adapalene/benzoyl peroxide for acne, can i use this under my eyes for anti ageing benefits? Is epiduo gel good for anti ageing or would tretinoin be more suitable?
I have had these dark circles since the age of 9 years old. I am 22 now. They seem a bit reddish/brown, almost like the blood is stuck there. In the past my iron levels were low and I do have a dust mite allergy, can this be the cause? Are these circles allergic shiners? I want to start using tretinoin cream to thicken the skin there, will this help? The pictures are taken in different lighting so you can really see how they look. Thankyou in advance
I did the mistake to use hemorroid cream as I read that it works well for eye bags. The cream had cortison and my skin thinned a bit. This causes the blood vains to shine through and you can see it as a reddish area close to the eye. i read great things about retinol / retin-a that could help my skin getting thicker to hide the red area. What would you recommend in my case? Retinol cremes or Retin-A / Tretinoin? I read that some people got worse eye shadows after using Retin-A.
