Tazorac is causing my skin to peel - Can I do anything to help the exfoliating process along?

Asked By:SRW1234 in Alexandria, VA

Using Tazorac cream nightly, small pea sized amt applied to entire face right after Using a gentle cleanser. In my 30's w/acne and some lines. Three weeks in I'm getting a lot of peeling, but otherwise tolerating it well (no redness, irritation). Anything I can do to hurry along the exfoliation-using a washcloth gently or clay mask? Cut back on the amount or frequency with which I use it? Or just ride it out? I use sunscreen in the am but no moisturizer at night because my skin is fairly oily.
