Tretinoin (Retin-A) Moisturizer? Looking for a good non-irritating daily moisturizer.

GymChick279
I started Tretinoin .05% for acne 2 months ago. I use every night now w/out moisturizer. I'm looking for a good daily moisturizer to use though. I don't experience a lot of dryness or flaking, but I do experience irritation/sensitivity (redness) and stinging. I tried Elavase Moisture Booster, but it stings and I noticed it contains fragrance - I was surprised to see so many doctors recommend a daily moisturizer that has fragrance in it - especially while using retin-a. Price isn't a concern.
