Will Retin-A Before and After TCA Cause More Breakouts?

I'll be doing a 12.5% TCA soon for acne/acne scarring. Web advice is to use Retin-A 2 weeks prior and restart 1 week post-peel.I was always told to "expect [acne] to get worse before it gets better" w/ Retin-A use; so won't this cause increased acne before and/or after the peel?Should this step be avoided since I did a Vi peel in November? Thanks a ton!!
