Can tretinoin be mixed with sunscreen so it can be worn throughout the day and like that i wont have to apply at night before bedtime? Is tretinoin more potent than loreal otc anti wrinkle products? Would a dermatologist happen to know? Thank you.

Thanks for your question. I guess it depends on how much you sweat at night or how oily your skin is. I think you will do fine by applying the medication 2 hours before bed. It is better than not using it at all. Good luck!
