Stop it temporarily for a week and restart it
Apply very very little cream
If burning sensation persists reduce the frequency to alternate days
If still there u can still reduce to once in three days
Other option is apply once daily at night and keep it for one hour before wash
BP is a good cream
Sunscreen is a must
