Diacneal- How do I incorporate it into my regimen?

I've been using an aha lotion that contain 10% aha twice daily for six months. It is the only product that has cleared my acne and prevented it coming back. I would like to add a retinol product in my regime as I have a few shallow scars ( these scars can only be seen in harsh lighting, but it still bothers me nonetheless) from past acne that I would like to smooth out. I've heard great things about retinol and its effectiveness in remodeling the skin. I don't want to give up the aha lotion because I love what it has done for my skin. A user from another forum suggested a product that combines the best of both ingredients, Diacneal.

So my question is do I omit the aha from my regime and use diacneal instead as my night time treatment? And would it be okay to apply a moisturizer on top after a few hours? I don't want to reduce its efficacy. But I don't think my skin can tolerate it by itself

Here is my current regime:

Morning:

Dove Soap (cleansing)
Aha lotion
Sunscreen

Evening:
Dove Soap
Aha lotion
Moisturizer
