Best recovery steps when you are too brazen with the new retinoid?

I used the new product too boldly and now my face is molting. I'll ease up and try it every other night or less until I build up tolerance. Lesson learned.

The last couple of nights I've just used hyaluronic acid and moisturizer, but I still have scaly spots everywhere. I tried using a peel and that gets rid of the flaky skin for a day, but this morning the flake zones are back! The air is getting dry and cold too, which doesn't help.

I'd really like to get back on the new retinoid to address some other skin concerns but don't want to further abuse my skin barrier. What would you do over the next week if you were me?
