I’ve been using retin-a for 4 days now..I know that it causes redness and peeling but I think it’s a little extreme. My face is very sensitive & it’s constantly burning, the stinging on my cheeks & nose are causing my eyes to tear.

But, in order to soothe my skin, I was thinking of using a yogurt and honey mask, so just wanted to make sure that would be okay.
