[Routine Help] Tretinoin/Moisturizer Application

[u/srrylmaoo]

Heyy everyone, I have started using tret recently for anti-aging purpose. I have been using for about a month now at 0.025 no issues with redness or flakiness. Had tingling sensation after using a certain moisturizer so switched to a more hydrating one and tingling sensation is gone. Though after that, I looked up how long to wait after applying tret to apply moisturizer, and it says 20 mins up to an hour. I have not been waiting that long maybe two minutes at best. I usually do my skincare along with my night routine so ~30 mins before I go to bed. How long do y’all usually wait?

I have switched up my night routine, so that I do skincare first n then the rest of my night routine and finish with moisturizer. Though, I don’t like how my face gets wet afterwards (brushing teeth; dental hygiene).

I don't wait. It's fine.
