Hey everyone! I’ve been adjusting my skincare routine and diving into the world of retinol. One question keeps popping up: should I apply moisturizer after using it? I’ve come across different opinions, and it seems that the best approach might really depend on individual skin types and the strength of the retinol being used.
As someone with normal skin, I’ve tried a couple of methods. Some nights, I skip the moisturizer to let the retinol fully absorb, while on others, I layer a lightweight moisturizer to help with any potential dryness. I’m curious to know if using a moisturizer affects the effectiveness of the retinol or if it actually enhances its benefits.
What are your thoughts? Do you find that applying moisturizer after retinol improves your skin’s feel, or do you prefer to leave it as is? If you do use a moisturizer, what products do you recommend? Let’s share our routines and find out what works best for all of us!
