Do you use Tretinoin under your eyes 👀?

Hey picky people! Do any of you use Tretinoin under your eyes? Or above your eyes (not on eyelids)? I’ve been trying to find a strong OTC retinol eye cream but nothing is strong enough IMO lol. I started using 0.025% Tretinoin under and around my eyes about a week ago (I use 0.1% Tretinoin on the rest of my face). It doesn’t irritate the skin at all really. But I can tell it’s more effective than Any OTC retinol eye cream. I don’t really know if doing this is a BIG no no. I always hear people say not to put Tretinoin around the eyes because the skin is more sensitive.

I do use the 0,025 without issues. My tube died last Saturday and I used the 0,05% and it was too much. I experienced irritation

I do. Retin-A .05% Cream but only two to three times a week and followed by a very rich, deeply moisturizing eye cream. On the lids too, just what’s left on my fingertips. Have to say that I’m used to tret and I often use pseudoceramide-rich moisturizers.
