Magica, I think you are using a skin thickening cream already. Retinoids are the only ingredients that are actually proven to promote collagen synthesis, hence thickening skin, when used consistently for many months and years.
Since retinol is thinning the outermost layers of the skin, your skin might look "crepey" initially. You will however get the skin thickening benefits in the long run.
If I were you, I would definitely continue using Skinceuticals Retinol cream around my eyes (perhaps the 0.5 % if the 1 % gives your under eye skin the "crepey" look).
I use SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic around my eyes and on my lips (!), prior to applying lip balm, every morning without any problems.
