I’ve recently added retinol to my simple three-step skincare routine, and it has truly transformed my skin. However, I’m a bit confused about the best way to layer my products, specifically when it comes to applying moisturizer in relation to retinol.
From what I understand, most people recommend applying retinol first so it can properly penetrate the skin. But as someone with sensitive skin, I’ve come across suggestions that using a gentle moisturizer beforehand might help reduce any irritation. I’m really interested in hearing about your experiences with this!
How do you typically layer your skincare products? Do you find a difference in your skin’s reaction based on whether you apply moisturizer before or after retinol? I’d love to hear your tips and insights!
