Hi everyone! I’d love to discuss something that many of us wonder about when using tretinoin: should it go on before or after moisturizer? As someone with combination skin, I’ve tried both approaches and wanted to share my insights.
Personally, I’ve found that applying tretinoin to clean, dry skin helps it absorb better and works effectively. However, on days when my skin feels particularly dry or sensitive, I’ve experimented with applying a lightweight moisturizer on top of the tretinoin. This technique can help alleviate some of the dryness that often comes with using tretinoin, but it’s all about finding what suits your skin best.
I’m curious to hear your experiences! How do you incorporate tretinoin into your routine? Do you have any strategies for minimizing irritation while maximizing its benefits? Let’s share our tips!
