Why does my face turn bright red, feel like it's burning, and peel after using Tretinoin or Clindamycin? (Photo)

I use Tretinoin Cream (.025%) at night and Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion (1%) in the morning for acne. I wash my face first and then apply, but immediately after, my face turns bright red, burns, and then peels almost like a sunburn. I've been using it for a week and the burning gets worse the more I use it. Should I put more time between washing my face and using them?
