Thank you for your question! You should discontinue use of Retin-A about 2 weeks prior to your TCA peel or microneedling procedure. You will also be unable to use Retin-A for 2 weeks after both procedures. As always, double check with the provider who is doing your procedures for what their protocols are. Hope this helps!
