I was using retin a (tretinoin) to treat eye wrinkles and now my skin is really really red and peeling ! what can i do to fix this ?

Moisturize: I would take a few days break from your medication. Take a shower to allow your skin to absorb moisture and gentle exfoliate the area with a washcloth. Apply a thin layer of vaseline to lock in the water tonight. This article has some more good tips: http://acne.about.com/od/acnetreatments/f/retinafaq.htm
