Using AHA fruit acids during the summer?

My skin is super sensitive and I deal with occasional seborrheic dermatitis. On top of that, I get these hormonal breakouts around my chin during my cycle that last about 5 or 6 days, but once they dry up, they leave behind these ugly red marks. I just finished a two-month course of oral Geomycin, which helped reduce the breakouts, but the scarring is still there. My dermatologist just prescribed Neutrogena Hyfac plus emulsion with fruit AHAs for nighttime, and an Estée Lauder face and body emulsion with SPF 25 for daytime to use until June 18th. Since my skin is sensitive and I spend a ton of time outdoors, I’m nervous about starting the AHA cream—I've heard you shouldn't really use them during the summer months. Plus, I doubt I'll see any real results in just a month, and I have a beach trip coming up soon, so I probably won't stick with the AHA while I'm away. What’s your take on using AHAs this time of year?
Will I actually be able to tan with SPF 25, or should I just switch to the Neutrogena Hyfac matte emulsion for the daytime?
Has anyone tried Aveeno Cycalfate for fading acne scars? It didn't do much for me...
Any other cream recommendations for that?
Thanks in advance!!!

Honestly, I wouldn't touch that cream with a ten-foot pole, and definitely skip the chemical peels—like those AHA or glycolic acid stuff.
Real talk, it’s probably not gonna do much for you, especially right where those breakouts were.
It might help, but honestly? Probably not in the way you're hoping for.
I'm not 100% sure what happens if you hit the sun while using those treatments, but if everyone's warning you about it, it's gotta be bad news.
And with Vitamin A derivatives (like Differin... whatever), I know for a fact you can't go out in the sun with that on.
My advice? Just wait until you get to the beach, go for a swim... don't wash the salt off your face immediately... give it maybe 5-10 mins, then jump in the shower and catch a little sun... just do that for a few days straight.
Ugh, I deal with huge issues with these acne scars on my face too.
Seriously, look into some "exfoliating" products—you know, the stuff that clears away dead skin cells (for everyday use).
Also, maybe ask around about microdermabrasion?! (Only at professional spas, obviously)
That might actually fix things for you without all the sun risks!

If you decide on something, just let me know what it is so I can weigh in... I've (unfortunately) tried a ton of treatments, so I can totally help!

What exactly are these "exfoliating" products you're talking about? Give me some names—ideally stuff you’ve actually used and found effective. This microdermabrasion thing sounds way too intense for me; I'm not really looking to go that extreme, especially since my spots aren't even that bad. It's just 5 or 6 little marks right under my beard area.
Did you try AHA products and have a bad experience, or what? And honestly, did anything actually work for you?

AHA acids are pretty aggressive. Some clueless dermatologist once prescribed me Neutrogena with AHAs, and within an hour or two, my skin was basically scorched. I guess I'm never doing that again.

Exfoliating creams basically just strip away that top layer of dead skin so you can actually see the healthy stuff underneath.
So yeah, your skin literally flakes off to get the job done!
AHA, haven't tried those specifically, but I did some glycolic acid peels at a local spa—like, maybe six sessions? Nothing crazy happened...
Anyway, nothing seems to touch these red spots for me! Just gotta wait it out, I guess!
Microdermabrasion isn't even that intense.
