Retin A Woes! Please Help. Skin is lookin' Oooold!

I have been using Retin-a .25% concentration for about two years now and I just started a brand new gel tube. I was previously using cream, I thought my skin was getting used to this concentration finally but I was wrong. With this new tube, I have some major peeling on my under my eye area, my nose, and a little around the corners of my mouth, everywhere else is fine. I use Belief's eye moisture bomb in the morning before I put on my makeup (I use IT Cosmetics CC cream). It's fine for maybe 3-4 hours but after that the skin flaking is totally visible. I can't reapply my face moisturizer because it removes the makeup. I'm looking at maybe a facial mist to help reduce the appearance of all this flaky crepe looking skin during the day. Any suggestions on a good facial mist or maybe a tinted moisturizer? I'm not looking to spend a ton since it'll stay at my desk in my office.
