In the case of severe skin irritation caused by Epiduo Forte, I encourage you to consult your attending physician immediately. You may need to modify your treatment regimen, but you should not modify your treatment on your own without consulting a dermatologist.
If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

In the meantime, you should use mild moisturizers and avoid sun exposure. As a pharmacist, I can suggest over-the-counter dermo-co-semtics, e.g. Avène Tolerance Control - a cream with high tolerance, suitable even for very sensitive skin. It has a soothing effect, minimizes the feeling of burning, tingling and tightness of the skin. It contains soothing ingredients such as thermal spring water, glycerin and squalane.
Cetaphil MD Dermoprotector - a cosmetic for the daily care of normal, dry, acne-prone skin and for people with AD and psoriasis. It contains moisturizing glycerin, panthenol to soothe irritations, avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E.
Zinalfat soothing and regenerating cream - for the care and protection of irritated and dry skin, especially after surgical procedures, with symptoms of inflammatory changes, as well as in the case of exfoliation and cracking of the lip epithelium (e.g. bites).

You can apply these creams with at least a 15-minute interval from Epiduo.
