What to use with differin?

I have just started to use differin in the evenings twice a week. I thought I would start off cautious. So far it’s been fine so I am thinking of doing it three times a week or more. At the moment I am alternating differin with The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA and The Ordinary Retinol 1%. Is differin basically the same as these two but better? I am wondering which one to drop in favour of differin. Does anyone use it every night?

Drop the ordinary for now (both of them)
In simple terms
The ordinary retinol is a weak version of differin so you're risking irritation and there's no point using it
The lactic acid is an exfoliant and likely to irritate as well

You could add the lactic acid back in once a week on a day off from differin once you're used to it
