Retin-A peeling and routine around different strength products?

Hello Switched my retin-A 0.05% creme to a 0.1% gel and my face turned into a peel off-mask (kind of fun picking your skin), cannot be constantly flaky and red - It's nasty looking. Since My reaction to the stronger concetration is heavy peeling, should I "peel my skin" once a week with 0.1% and use 0.05% other nights? And is sealing serum and moisturiser into my skin with vaseline ok? It seems to work. Thank you :-)
