Using tretinoin can be a game changer for achieving clearer skin, but it often comes with some dryness or irritation. That’s why finding the right moisturizer is crucial. As someone with normal skin, I’ve learned that a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula is ideal for keeping my skin hydrated without feeling greasy.
Look for moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides. These help to lock in moisture without clogging pores. If you’re also using brightening agents like vitamin C or tranexamic acid, make sure your moisturizer complements these products instead of overwhelming your skin.
I’ve found that layering a hydrating serum underneath my moisturizer works wonders. I first apply the serum, let it absorb, and then add my moisturizer on top. This method helps keep my skin plump and reduces any dryness from the tretinoin.
