Dermatologist told me BHAs and AHAs are bad for my skin? [acne]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I finally went to the dermatologist and told her how I had been using salicylic and glycolic acid on alternating days and she said she isn't surprised that they haven't been helping - if anything they have worsened - my breakouts. She said since my skin is sensitive they are irritating to it. She prescribed me an antibiotic, probiotics, Aczone to put on once a day at night and a low concentration of Tretinoin to put on 3x/week. I'm confused at her saying that the BHA and AHA are solely irritating though (she seemed to think they were not good for a lot of people not just for me) because I've heard great things about them and salicylic acid is known to help many people's skin. What do you think, have you ever heard that they are unhelpful?
