@LindsayInNY: I would probably stick with the timetable you are on now (every third night) for another week. If your skin is still tolerating it well, go ahead and try every other night and see how you do. You might need a slightly modified rotation at first (say, Mon-apply, Tues-off night, Wed-apply, Thurs/Fri-off nights, Sat-apply, Sun-off night, Mon-apply, etc.).

What I tend to do is choose a rotation . . . I am doing every third night (my Retin-A is the Tretinoin 0.1%, the highest strength), and then if I think there is too much irritation for another on-schedule application, I give my skin an extra night to rest, and then pick back up with my regular rotation (if that makes sense).

You will probably still have some flaking/peeling over the next several weeks (it usually takes about 6-8 weeks total), although the worst of it is at the beginning!
