AHA huts a lot?

Hi guys, new poster here.
I've been on the regimen for probably around two months, and I have been taking accutane along side it.
One thing though, when I use AHA, it really, really stings and burns. My face gets really red and hot and sometimes I can't take it so I just wash it off. I don't remember this happening before I started accutane, could this be some kind of reaction and I need to stop AHA?
Thanks!

Edit: I ended up washing it off again, my facell was tomato-level red. What to do?

Start slow and mix the AHA with moisturizer before applying to your face. Half pump of AHA and half (or more if it really stings) a pump of moisturizer. You can do this every couple of nights then eventually build up to when you can use a full face of AHA only.

Got it, I'll use a little bit at a time to get used to it. I was just worried though, because my skin was blood red and I thought it was an allergic reaction.
