I think your skin did not have time to adjust to that retinol percentage. I would go back to the lower concentration that your skin was able to tolerate and keep using it for like 3 months. If you keep seeing progress with that concentration I would not go higher.

Do increase your concentration slowly. What can be done, recommended by dermatalogist is basically to do this sandwich layering method with a hydrating moisturizer, moisturizer-retinol-moisturizer. You apply a layer of moisturizer before and after retinol.

First of all you need to calm your skin. I would just don't use retinol for 1 or 2 weeks, than start using it from lower concentration. And use a sandwich method always. For dry skin you can use backuchiol or peptides to decrease the lines.
And retinol has a long result to wait, up to 6 months, when you don't increase concentration

I rekomend you to follow the sandwich method. Apply a hydrating serum first then retinol and at last hydrating cream. you need to apply retinol just once a week if you skin doesn’t tolerate it.
