It certainly sounds as if you are allergic to some component of Ponds cream. I would stop using it immediately. A chemical peel is not meant for dry skin. You should use a mild soap such as Cetaphil, Oilatum, CeraVE or Vanicream. Most of them also have moisturizers- a cream for night and a lotion with sunscreen in it for the morning. Even if you apply Vaseline at night-that is a great moisturizer and will be absorbed into your face by the time you wake up,
