Can I Use Retinoids if I Am Prone to Broken Capillaries?

I am lost, I am 23 , I tend to have pimples that leave hyperpigmentation marks and I am concerned with premature aging . I would like to start retin-a but i think i am prone to broken capillaries (i have a visible small "vein" on my lower cheek), should i still use retin-a or something milder such as retinaldehyde or ahas?
