Vit C and retinol giving me scabs/hives?

Hi does anyone else find that if they use vitamin C or retinol they get sores/scabs on their skin? I have started with Indeed Vit C/Una Brennan retinol. I've been tapering up as recommended but I have found I get sores/scabs on my skin when I use them. I have very dry and quite sensitive skin and have avoided anti ageing stuff until now because of that. I am also very fair skinned but I had noticed the texture of my skin getting more 'robust' so thought it was worth a go. Is it just me? Can anyone recommend gentle products? I'm also sensitive to rosehip oil so can't use that. It's not an option for me not to moisturise as my skin more or less falls off in scales if I don't.
