I do. I usually do a basic version of the sandwich method. I do:
â˘Krave GBR
â˘Inkey List Retinol Serum
â˘Whichever moisturizer I have at the time

Sandwich method sounds good but i am considering about the effects of tretinoin/retinol.
Maybe it is better to use it alone.. I donât know really đ¤

Moisturizer over tret definitely. Tret is just way stronger than retinol I donât think you can even compare them honestly.

I would still rec moisturizer 30 minutes after applying, though Iâve never used that type of tret, and if you donât like the way moisturizer feels you can always try and see how your skin feels without or just with lighter layers of moisturizing toners or serums. Tret can be super irritated and drying so much people rely on lots of moisturizer, but I donât know there is a fair few who donât use it with tret. You might just need to experiment a bit and see what you skin likes best, but probably assume youâll need moisturizer.

Tret is waaaaay more drying than retinol.
If irritation occurs use the sandwich method.
Otherwise put tret on, wait 30mins then apply moisturiser.
If you are a beginner i suggest the sandwich method. Also do lots of research

I use moisturizer first, wait about 20 to 30mins, and then apply my prescription tretinoin.
If my skin seems to be a little drier than usual, I will use the sandwich method and apply a sleeping mask over top of my tretinoin.
From what I've researched, and what youtube dermatologist Dr. Dray has said, applying tretinoin before, or after, or sandwiching tretinoin does not affect it's efficacy.

I have oily skin but wouldnât dare use tret without following with a moisturizer. Tret is drying. My routine on tret nights looks like this:
toners or essences â> watery serums â> tret â> heavier serums (sometimes) â> moisturizers.
Tried using tret on clean, bare face but itâs too strong, made my skin feel tender and raw despite using it for only 3 days a week. The âsandwichâ method is better and gentler on my skin.
