How to use tretinoin and aha's together in skincare?

User Avatar

I use actives like vitamin c, b and tretinoin 0.05% in my current skincare. I want to use aha's once a week and 6 days tretinoin. Can aha's(10-30% like the ordinary or others with pH 3-4) be used safely with tretinoin 0.05%? I once used hydroquinone for days and applied strong chemical peel and got burns. Will tretinoin and aha's(10-30%,ph-3-4) give me burns like the hydroquinone and strong peels(50-70%)?
