Retinol use in summer

I'm quite new to retinol and enjoying the results. However do ppl use it all year round? I'm an avid factor 50 fan, but managed to get a bit of a glow on my face yesterday. I'm wondering whether the retinol is a factor here and maybe to stop over summer.

A dermatologist I follow says using retinol doesn’t make you more sensitive to sun.
I do use it all year round, I apply at night and always wear spf on my face.
Do you reapply your face spf? If not maybe you would get a glow even without the retinol? we had a lot of sun yesterday, it was too hot to sit in for quite a bit of the day.

Thanks that's helpful. No I didn't reapply and was out gardening so probably had quite a big exposure. Skin seems fine today,will keep going with the retinol and be more mindful of reapplying
