[product question] retinol and issues with increasing concentrations

Beauty Tips For Body Care
so, i use an OTC retinol - skinceuticals. i've been using the 0.5 for ages, but i'm getting older, and thought maybe the 1.0 would be a good idea to keep getting the same effects (first, is that a dumb assumption, that i would have to keep increasing as i age?) but the 1.0 makes my face really dry and i notice more redness. i drop a variety of moisture bombs on it, which helps, but it doesn't look as good as when i was using the 0.5. so, my question is - will the bad effects of the 1.0 go away as i get used to it, and will my face look great again? or is higher concentration just not appropriate for certain people? i've asked my derm but he wasn't all that helpful, unfortunately. for those of you who might have stepped up their concentrations, does your face eventually adjust?
