CHEMICAL PEELS: It depends on the severity of your acne. It might be too much chemicals for your face already. Retin a (tretinoin) is strong enough to burn your face. You can try it by not combining the two rx.

Absolutely: Many skin care regimens incorporate Retin-A and all types of skin care, including glycolic acid micro-peels.
