Tretoin newbie advice

I have have just been prescribed Tret 0.05%. Dermatica. I am a little bit worried having read about it that this maybe too strong, but did do an online consultation. My current routine includes Liz Cleanse and Polish both morning and evening, and I use Astral as my night cream.
During the day, I apply Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Fluid with SPF 50.
I'd like to introduce Tret into my nighttime routine but am unsure how often to use it and whether my other products are compatible. I’m also looking for recommendations for a daytime moisturizer, as Astral works well at night but feels too heavy for daytime use.

I started using tretinoin from skin and me about 2 weeks ago and my starting amount is 0.009 so yours seems a lot to start on.

Saying that I'm not an expert so maybe that's an OK starting dose 🤷

I did a consultation with dermatica and this is what they prescribed, I've used it once 3 days ago but not since as wanting to build up, but feel nervous now 😬
