The best cream to pair with Tretinoin?

Hiya! Relatively new tret user here. I was wondering what creams / products you guys like to layer under and over tretinoin. I'm using the Barr Centella Barrier Cream in the PM as a thicker cream but I was wondering what your guys' recommendation are. Any other tret tips are welcome! I use it every other night :-)

Cicabio - for oily skin it might not be a good choice for everyday use but it's helpful

I tended to use a thicker cream when I was using Tretinoin, these I found really hydrating and stopped any drying out from the Tret. Some are more lightweight so not to overload the oily parts of my combination skin, but all are deeply hydrating and reinforces the skin barrier to reduce transepidermal water loss

I also use the Illiyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream in the sandwich method & it makes sure I don’t have irritation when I use tretinoin every 3 nights!
