Can Tretinoin be used with ceramide toner?

March 31, 2017
Asked By:mznurie in Pasadena, CA

I've been using tretinoin 0.05% for about a year now, and my skin is very well used to it. During the day I use an alcohol free toner, which contains 8 ceramides and 15 amino acids, along with humectants like hyaluronic acid. I wish to switch the toner use to night, before or after tretinoin. Is it recommended?
