Is it possible to overuse Retin-A?

I have been using Retin A .05% for wrinkles for the past 2 months. I used a pearl sized amount 3 days a week. The possible overuse in this area has left my skin pockmarked, dry, crinkly, and lined. I stopped using Retin A, but would really to try using it again once my skin recovers. This might sound crazy due to my current circumstances, but I really do believe in the science behind it. How long, on average, will it take for my skin to recover? Is there anything I can do to hasten this? Thanks
