Ok To Combine Retin A and Face Cleansing Cloths?

Is it ok to use retin-A cream after cleansing the face with just a face cleansing cloth instead of soap and water on some nights? Will the Retin A still have the same effect? Also, is it ok to use moisturizer at night after applying Retin-A. Again, will it lose potency? Thanks!

Retin A use with facial cleaning cloths and moisturizers
It should be safe to combine Retin-A use with a facial cleansing cloth as well as a skin moisturizer. Start with a lower concentration of Retin-A to see how well your skin tolerates the Retin-A by itself or with the moisturizer. If you do not have excessive redness or dryness, you can add a cleansing cloth as well. Best wishes.
