I have an 8 month one that i am still breastfeeding, can i use a retinol cream on my crows feet?

Moderately safe: Vitamin a creams are considered moderately safe when used during breastfeeding. Blood concentration after application is essentially zero & there is no evidence of significant passage in the breast milk.

How do I stop my eyebrow hair loss? It was caused by using retinol cream which I stopped immediately after. Only my eyebrows have been falling for four months now. Is this telogen effluvium? Am I deficient in any vitamins? Any thyroid or iron issues?
