Did Goku use Kaioken to get to Freeza?

Taken from when he was flying towards where Freeza and co. was, right after healing.

His eyes seem to indicate so but yeah idk. Maybe he just used it to get there quickly.

Don't think so. Toriyama would draw an aura around him if he were using it, and the full color shows him to be in normal base. AT is wanking post-Ginyu Zenkai Goku too, no need to conflate that with a ki doubling move and make his normal base form look less impressive.

Nah. His eyes appear like that various times in Base.

Spoiler

Gohan's eyes appear like that several times when Toriyama is expressing shock or emotion, too. So have Kuririn's eyes at some points iirc.

Along with what's already been said, there'd be little reason for him to use Kaioken when his pre-Zenkai self already had great enough travel speed to get to where Reacoom was in an instant from what seems to be a similar distance to that between Freeza and the ship. The only time it can be said that he used Kaioken to boost his flight in the arc is in the anime version of him arriving to fight Reacoom.
