Skin concerns with retinol & chemical peel - skin is feeling sensitive & dry

bellaedward
I've been using Murad Retinol Cream in my morning routine, (it includes the Sunday Riley Good Genes chemical peel and Kiehl's ascorbic acid serum). Skin looks better, it's been feeling a bit sensitive and dry lately, especially around my cheeks. I'm wondering if this is normal when using these products together, or if there might be something else going on. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? I want to keep using these products because they seem to be working, but I don't want my skin to get irritated.
