Self tanning and tretinoin?

Levsleo
I've been using Tretinoin cream .05% for a couple weeks now and normally I tan throughout the winter to maintain my color.I came across Jergen's Selfless tanning moisturizer for face/body and didn't buy because I wasn't sure whether that would cause irritation to my already sensitive skin. I guess my question is can I use a self tanning lotion to maintain my tan while using tretinoin, and if so, how do i use that in conjunction with tretinoin? Thanks in advance!
