Rest: Exfolliating daily may be too much for your skin. Depending on what you are actually doing to exfolliate. Acne skin creams may also need to be every other night if they are causing peeling. You may need a laser skin care regiman to get it under control along with products better suited for your skin.

Add a moisturizer: This can be due to excessive dryness and can be the case in particular if your acne cream contains retinol. If that is so, make sure you use the minimal percentage of retinol and add a quality moisturizer to your regiment. This can also be due to more abrasive products if your skin is sensitive, try products formulated for sensitive skin is this is the case.
