Is Tretinoin making me sunburn?

court81
Is Tretinoin actually making me sunburn? I was outside for about 20 mins and feel incredibly sunburned in winter with Uv index of 1. Is this causing more harm than good? I’ve been using tretinoin 0.5 for a few months. What is the actual photosensitive damage for such an exposure?
