[Routine Help] - Wanting to add a Retinol, but I already use AHA/BHA frequently

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA,I'm a 25f first time poster who's been experimenting for a while, and just recently started following a steady SCA routine. I've suffered from acne and compulsive picking most of my life, and since going off the pill last year it's like I'm a teenager again with how bad it is. Since starting this routine I have noticed decreased SFs and pore size in my nose, and my skin is much more moisturized and hydrated since I live in the high desert.Now, I'd like to add a Retinol because I think that might be more effective at clearing my closed comedones and active acne, but I currently use my AHA/BHA gel daily (after introducing it gradually) and am afraid it may cause too much irritation. Does anyone in this sub use both actives, and if so, how often do you use each?My current routine is:AM: -Cleanse with water or Simple skincare Foaming Cleanser if I'm greasy, with kojnac sponge.-Simple TonerPeter Thomas Roth AHA/BHA gel (In hindsight I wouldn't have splurged so much, but now I just want to use it up)-3x a week I use Mizon Snail Mucin ampoule-Cerave Moisturizing LotionBiore Perfect Milk 50 SPF sunscreenPM:-Remove makeup with oil cleanser, Burts Bees or Palmer's-Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser-Simple Toner-Boots No. 7 Perfect and Protect serumBoscia Tsubaki sleeping maskIf I were to incorporate a retinol product, is there a product recommendation from anyone who's successfully cleared their skin? I'm desperate at this point to solve my skin issues, and have seen some great results in this sub, so any help at all is appreciated!
