I would not suggest any "home" peels while on Retin-A without discussing exactly what you would use with your medical skin care professional who is supervising your using the Retin-A. Retin-A can cause the skin to be more sensitive and reduces the outer dead cell layer making anything you do  more risky. A better idea is to have whatever you need done in a MediSpa overseen by someone with significant experience in skin rejuvenation and patients on Retin-A and other skin rejuvenation regimens. The ideal would be if the physician overseeing your care was also overseeing the MediSpa.
