You're inevitably bound to purge, specially if you start using a strong active like retinoid all of a sudden. But, I'm not sure about other people, but the purge I got from tretinoin wasn't really acne, it was more like red, irritated, dry and irritated skin with a lot of flaking, and I thought that was the general experience. Given your background I don't think you're gonna get any acne from the retinoid purge, make sure to use squalane oil though, you're getting some dryness 4 sure.

Well… I didn't suffer from acne per se, what I had were comedones and some textural irregularities, I'm unsure if comedones classify as a type of acne.
