Can someone use retinol or tretinoin before going to bed but what if they sleep face down on their pillow?

monicaregister
Even if they apply like 2 hours before going to bed, will these medications smear off on their pillow and if so, will their effectiveness be greatly reduced? What to do in case someone sleeps facing down? Can an experienced dermatologist please tell me what to do in this case? Thank you.
