Routine check please: 52, dry and a little reactive lately

Would love a few eyes on this before I change anything. AM: splash of water, hyaluronic serum on damp skin, ceramide moisturizer, SPF 50. PM: creamy cleanser, retinol 0.3 percent two nights a week, richer moisturizer on the other nights. The last month my skin has felt tight and occasionally stingy at the cheeks, which is new for me. I have not changed products, but I did move somewhere with hard water and dry winter air. My instinct is that it is a barrier thing and I should pull back the retinol to once a week and lean harder on moisture rather than add a new product, but I would love a sanity check from people who have been here. Am I reading the tightness right, or is there something in this lineup that tends to cause trouble that I am not seeing? Thank you in advance.
