If I use tretinoin at night, should I be using anything during the day?

Currently I just use a retinoid at night and during the day I just use moisturizer. Also I am on tetracycline. Should I be putting something else on my face during the day? My acne is getting worse and it's very persistent as well.

Should I buy some 2.5% BP and use it during the day?
Does anyone have any recommendations?

thanks in advance

it's okay to use stuff in the morning. if you're going out in the sun make sure to put on a sunscreen. keep up the moisturizer to alleviate peeling. you can also use BP, my doctor prescribed a bp gel for me which i put on in the morning and at night i put on the retina
