Flaky skin using Retin-A? Getting rid of flaky skin? (photo)

needshelpfast
I am using 0.025% Retin-A for my acne and acne scarring. I have flaking! I only started using it since Monday, and on Wednesday it really started to hurt badly. It peeled off skin in certain areas and it hurt to talk or smile. I'm not sure if I should continue using it tonight because I have a bat miztvah tomorrow! Are there any remedies to getting rid of this flaky skin..and fast?
