[Misc] How can I heal a retinol burn from Drunk Elephant's A Passioni?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I applied a sample of this to my face, neck and chest a couple of nights ago following the usual retinol application advice. I have an oily, acne-prone t-zone and normal-dehydrated cheeks. My skin started peeling around my mouth the following morning, all over my cheeks by the evening and the skin on my cheeks and neck in particular has been so irritated and sore all over and feels really dry, itchy and warm (internally if that makes sense?) in those two areas. The tip of my nose has also gone all scaly and revolting since I've also been blowing my nose.Pretty much all of my moisturisers are lightweight gels because of my skin type, so I'm at a loss for what to buy in the AM to ease the irritation and dryness. The only other unscented thing I have at home is coconut oil that'll break me out like crazy. My usual moisturisers are just sinking in and making no difference. Side note: I break out when I use fatty alcohols, so I can't use a lot of popular moisturisers. (I know this product contains FAs, but I figured one usage wouldn't cause any issues. 🤦🏻‍♀️)How long will this last for?! I've used BHAs, an AHA peel and prescription acne treatments without anything like this level of irritation occurring before.
