I wouldn't do that. Retin-A makes your skin more sensitive to other skin treatments - particularly things that peel your skin.

Retin A thins the epidermis. So using something that has adhesive on it will more than likely cause the skin to lift. This is the same reason why you shouldn't wax while on it as well.

Yah no problem with those. tretinoin should not be used with other keratolytic agents like hydroxy acids.

Incorrect. 1. One should not use pore strips, wax, etc while using retinoids. 2. Tretinoin is just fine to use with AHAs.
