Retin-A (.1%) and Aczone Gel at Night?

March 23, 2011
Asked By:madison79 in Burlington, NC

Went to my derm today for my acne..currently taking soladyn and retin a at night. But she uped my strength to .1% and prescribed Acezone topical gel along with continuing the soladyn. But she suggested the Retin A during the day and the Aczone gel at night..my question is can i reverse this as ive been using the retin at night anyways before the Aczone gel. Do you think this may be more benefical? And is the use of a daily moisturizer ok to use over the aczone? suggestions much appreciated!
