    Retinol burn happens when your skin reacts strongly to retinol, often due to overuse or starting with a high strength. Common symptoms include redness, peeling, dryness, stinging, and increased sensitivity. To soothe it, stop using retinol temporarily and focus on healing with gentle, hydrating products like fragrance-free moisturizers, aloe vera, or ceramide creams. Avoid exfoliants, harsh cleansers, and direct sun exposure until your skin recovers. Once healed, reintroduce retinol slowly—start with a low concentration and use it only a few times a week.
