Is It Ok to Start Using Retin-A in the Summer?

jonesb
I went to see my dermatologist and he prescribed Retin-A 0.04% because I have sensitive skin. I am going to slowly introduce this into my skincare regime, but is it ok for me to start using it during the summer or should I wait till fall? Also, is it ok for me to use Retin-A while undergoing electroloysis treatments? How long should I discontinue Retin-A before and after electrolysis treatments? Please let me know. Thank you
