Hi lindseybeau!Retin-A is a great treatment for acne, wrinkles, pores and stretch marks. It will do nothing for cellulite, unfortunately. I would not mix it in with your moisturizer. I would apply the Retin-A at night directly to the area you want to treat, whether its your face or stretch marks on your body. During the day, please make sure you are wearing at least an spf 30 in the areas of use and reapply. Best of luck!
