I have used .05% tretinoin cream every night and have been very happy with the results. Balancing dryness from tretinoin?

Asked By:kellig333 in New York, NY

I am currently using a ceramide serum plus an oatmeal&dimethicone lotion under my sunscreen every morning to balance the dryness from the retinol but would like to switch to a single product to speed up my getting ready in the morning. What is the best moisturizer or ingredients I should look for to find one product that'd provide the same amount of hydration as the combination of serum and lotion?
