High-strength retinoids or using multiple retinoid products at once; they can cause peeling and irritation if not buffered with moisturiser and introduced slowly. [5] Strong acid toners or peels (high % glycolic, lactic, salicylic) layered daily, which can thin an already-delicate barrier and worsen redness and dryness.
