best moisturizer to pair with retinol

What’s the best hydrating, skin barrier protecting moisturizer to use on retinol nights? Trying to avoid the irritation caused by retinol, I have super sensitive skin!

When I used this retinol, I paired it with the CeraVe pm moisturizer. It has niacinamide, which helps lower any irritation or redness from the retinol! I guess any product with niacinamide is a good one to follow after retinol.

I would suggest you moisturizer with ceramide. It's moisturising and hydrating. Use it before retinol so that your skin won't feels dry.

Dr. Dray recommend this for those who use retinol. It’s meant for super dry skin, sensitive skin and in your case you definitely should get this. Not to mention it’s affordable in drugstores.

One moisturizer that I see a lot of people use with sensitive skin is the MakePrem 12 cream. I personally use the Dokdo cream and love it, but idk if it’s good for sensitive skin. My mom has semi sensitive skin and it works for her 🤗❤️

I love the brand too ☺️ Might want to use the sunscreen for indoor days tho. Roundlab uses the same lab that has issues with the spf controversy, so might want to reapply often just in case 🤗❤️

This is my go to moisturizer. It's a medium thickness texture, has tons of good ingredients, fragrance and essential oil free (which is a bonus for sensitive skin), and a big bottle lasts a long time and is reasonably priced.
