Also should be taken into account im on accutane 20mg but I see no dryness in my under eye area anyways but the skin is decently thin tho which should be helped by accutane. Also the specific one I want to use is

Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum, Dark Spot Care, Hyaluronic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Lightweight & Hydrating All-in-One Daily Facial Serum for Glass Skin, Korean Skincare, 1.01 fl.oz​

is there a better option for general hyperpigmentation in that under eye region (not a vein related problem)?

Idts just sleep then or you need to thicken the skin somehow

Tretinoin can help increase skin thickness, elasticity, and collagen production which should help if not a vein related problem but since it thickens skin it would help with that anyways.

Hydroquinone is the strongest/best option for pigmentation. There are a good number of others that can be used in combo like allastine illuminate, which is almost as strong as HQ. As well as AHA. You can stack them as long as skin barrier holds. They all use different pathways.

Just don't use a retinoid like Tretinoin, since they cause dry eye.

Tret dosent cause dry eyes or burning as most ppl say if slowly get into it like 2 times a week for 2 weeks then 3 times a week and so on there won't be any side effects.

I might be fucked then but anything to ascend.
 
"In addition to dermatitis, the application of retinoids around the eyes may cause ocular discomfort and dry eye syndrome because of their influence on the ocular surface and meibomian gland structure"

Try using some other methodology, AHA also increase skin thickness, as does some RA devices, Lasers, and Tixel physical thermal ablation has been found effective at treating dry eye plus it thickens the skin. They can do tixel on your eyelids with no eyeshields unlike a laser, where eye shields are required.
