Mini Regenerist Retinol24 +Peptide Night Moisturizer : Directions for Use are USELESS!!!

I purchased this product and Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Facial Moisturizer at the same time. This is my first foray into using products with retinol in them. I am SHOCKED by the lack of proper instructions on the packaging. Due to their ineptitude, I can't use ANY products on my face right now, even cleansers. Everything burns and stings. EVERYTHING.

Conclusions:

1) To properly start to use retinol, it is recommended that you start slow, applying one dose daily or even only once every 2-3 days. Nowhere on this packaging does it recommend this.

2) All moisturizers should be applied to freshly cleaned skin. Nowhere does it recommend cleaning your skin before applying (not doing so causes build up which prevents the second moisturizer (e.g. day/night moisturizer) to not absorb (I was scraping it off with my fingernails when I itched my face).

3) The packaging warns to stop using if you develop a rash but says NOTHING about if your skin starts to burn or sting (which mine did) or how to address it when it does.

I am hopeful that these two products will be beneficial for me because at first, I really did like how my skin looked and it didn't feel heavy, palpable to my fingers or greasy. I have a hard time finding moisturizers that will work with my sensory issues, but I just can't forgive this level of irresponsibility on the part of the designers/manufacturers.
