Stop the cream, moisturise well. Retinoid creams are wonderful in treating acne, but are notorious in causing dryness and peeling, if not used correctly
Consult online with relevant photographs for right usage of creams, and customised skin care products

Retino AC cream can give rise to dryness and peeling of skin if not used under the guidance of a dermatologist. Kindly stop the cream. Continue with a good moisturizer and sunscreen, untill the dryness settles completely.
