I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed

Retinol can be started after 30 years of age. Also not all skin types respond to retinol effectively. Kindly consult for better diagnosis and management.

Please share your photographs for detailed treatment.
There are multiple reasons for dull skin and under eye pigmentation. It's better to treat from base than using any random retinol cream.
Next Steps
kindly consult online for detailed prescription.
