Hi everyone! I’ve been exploring different skincare products, and I recently added tretinoin to my routine. As someone with dry skin, I’m trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it without causing irritation.
I’ve come across various opinions on whether to apply tretinoin on clean, dry skin or to use a moisturizer first. I understand that tretinoin might work better when applied to bare skin, but I also love the hydration that comes from a good moisturizer, especially at night. I’m curious about the slugging method too, but I’m worried it might trap irritation instead of helping.
Have any of you tried different application methods with tretinoin? What works best for you in terms of managing dryness and irritation? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
