If I'm currently using Tretinoin every morning with my moisturizer could I start using AHA (Glycolic Acid 10%) along with it.

I'm just wondering why you use retinoids in the morning? Is that suggested by your dermatologist? Because as far as I know, patients are suggested to apply all kind of retinoids at night to avoid the sun contact. It is also not recommended to use any other acid products with retinol at the same time, because it would be too drying and too harsh for your skin.
However, if you really wanted to use them at the same time, I would suggest you use the AHA in the morning and retinol at night, ease it up though.
