Tretinoin and sun exposure

court81
Hello, I use tretinoin regularly for years. I have fair skin. It is impossible to always wear sunblock at all times, especially during winter. after being oudoors for 5-10 minutes in UV index 2 weather, my skin gets redness and irritation for 12-24 hours. This is a mild sunburn. do mild sunburns have long-term consequences? I get these a few times per year
