Hello,
You have developed 'irritant contact dermatitis' to the triple combination cream. This is also sometimes referred to as 'retinoid dermatitis'.
A triple combination cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin and mematosone is contraindicated in the under eye area. Kindly discontinue using the cream.
Use a gentle moisturizer every 2-3 hours on the irritated skin for the next 7 days.
The skin of the affected area will turn brown and crusty over the next 3-4 days. Do not worry! Just keep moisturizing it. After 3-4 days the crust will start to flake off. Do not pull at it.
Within a week the skin should start to feel normal again.
Hope this answers your query :)
For any further queries regarding this problem or dark circles treatment, please feel free to connect with me for a personalized online consultation.
Regards,

Next Steps
Discontinue triple combination, moisturize every 2-3 hours for next 7 days.
