The symptoms of Rosacea are due to blood vessels in the skin. Triggers in the environment affect predisposed individuals causing their skin to overreact and turn red in response to these triggers. The results of chemical peels are not very predictable. If you are looking for a treatment for Rosacea, you should consider a laser treatment (e.g. Vbeam) which will safely seal off problematic blood vessels so that the body can eliminate them. If you are looking for general skin refinement, a laser treatment like Spectra provides a skin toning rejuvenation and exfoliating effect comparable to a chemical peel. But it is far safer and more predictable.
Generally, chemical peels may irritate rosacea. There are oral and topical prescription medications that can improve the condition. If increased blood vessels are present, laser treatments can help.
People with rosacea have very sensitive skin and typically experience worsening of their rosacea symptoms with things like hot foods, spicy foods, caffeine, sun, heat and alcohol. Rosacea can also be aggravated by chemical peeling and other elective treatments such as micro-dermabrasion. Therefore, while it is possible to perform chemical peels on rosacea skin safely, I do not typically recommend it.
I don't think it would be possible to make your skin elasticity worse with peels and laser treatments because both help to boost collagen production. For these folds you might want to consider fillers instead.

However, you did not tell us how often you are using Retin A. Daily use is often so irritating that it is not recommended. In my practice, patients are allowed to use their Retin A on their usual schedule up to the night before a peel. Generally we ask that they do not resume...
