Could using Tretinoin and taking part in contact sports make my skin worse?

I'm a 29 year old male that wants to start tretinoin for anti-aging reasons, however I practice Brazilian jiu jitsu (a grappling sport very similar to judo or wrestling) several times a week. I heard tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive so could this possibly end up making my skin worse or is there something extra I need to do to make sure I get the benefits with no downsides? I currently use sunscreen everyday with vitamin c serum, cleanser and moisturiser as well.
