hiya fellas, i was wondering if there is anything wrong in moisturizing after the application of tretinoin .025% like after one hour or two ???
 
I've used retin-a three times, always worked great, and I moisturized 20 minutes after applying. Otherwise the dryness was unbearable!
 
There's nothing wrong, especially if you wait an hour or two. If you don't moisturize the tretinoin can be too strong and irritating for the skin, causing redness and peelies. I can't use it without a moisturizer.
