Posted under Retin-A q&a

Can l apply an oil and/or a moisturiser containing oils over my application of Retin-A?

kitty10
l have very very very dry skin and just started using Retin-A 0.25%. I need a very rich moisturiser afterwards to relieve some of the dryness, essential oils also help. Is it okay to apply an oil, and/or oil rich moisturiser afterwards or is it essential not to use anything oil based afterwards? Find it very hard to find rich creams not containing an oil.
