Eye cream for acne prone skin?

Hello, I am 31 years old and looking for anyone who may have once been in my position of looking to find an eye cream to target dark circles but one that doesn’t clog pores as I have VERY acne prone skin and my current eye cream also gives me milia.

Does such a thing even exist?? I feel like I have tried researching but everything is so conflicting and I just want to hydrate and brighten my under eye area without having to trade off for red spots or cystic acne or milia everywhere.

hoping someone has previously shared my frustration and found the miracle cure…

It would have to be tretinoin? There have been a few similar threads recently. It's basically retinol (which doesn't work) but stronger. You can get it in 0.025% (low), 0.05% (medium) and 0.1% (high). Start low and combine it with niacinamide to fade undereye shadows and pigmentation. Also use a vitamin c cream in the morning. Those three ingredients together are the most effective usually. Monderma and Skin+Me do it for £25.
