How to Use Moisturizer with Tretinoin Effectively

Hi everyone! I’ve been focusing on my skincare routine since I started using tretinoin for my oily-combination skin. I’ve come across various opinions on whether to apply moisturizer after tretinoin, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts.

From what I’ve learned, tretinoin can be quite drying, so I’m considering a lightweight, budget-friendly moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated. However, I’m also wondering how this might impact the effectiveness of the tretinoin. What have your experiences been like?

Do you apply moisturizer immediately after tretinoin, or do you wait a little while? Also, if you have any affordable moisturizer suggestions, I would love to hear them! What’s your routine like with these products?
