Retin-A + Serum Q&A

Hi Im 39Ive been using Tretinoin,ketrel 0.5for over a year now for pores & wrinkles.My skin is used to it& I use it every night.I dont have sensitive skin&i dont get side effects anymore.I apply it at night after cleansing&applying Biologique Recherche P501970-I know it says not to use it with that but the spa said its fine& Ive had no side effects..I want to know after applying the Tretinoin and waiting for it to sink in etc, does applying any serum or cream make tret less effective?

What is better for anti aging? Tretinoin 0.5% or tazarotene 0.1%? What can be used? AHA or BHA? Any advice on how to apply the retinoid? I only know it should be applied to clean dry skin at night. Can i mix it with lotion or cream? Can i put a moisturizing cream or hyaluronic acid over it? I have noticed most dermatologists have flawless skin which i am assuming its from their daily topical skin care routine and trying their lasers? Any serums or moisturizer you would recommend? Physical or chemical blocks? (I have a beard and physical sunscreen makes beard all white). Currently i use cetaphil cleanser, caudalie premier cru le serum, Dermaceutic Tri Vita C30 - 30% Vitamin C Serum, sun screen. Nocte i only use tazarotene without any moisturizer. Thanks in advance.

I am currently using skinmedica TNS serum. I want to incorporate Retin-A and skinmedica Lytera 2.0 for dark spots. What order do I use them in for best absorption and results?

I have a Niacinamide serum that has avocado oil and hyaluronic acid in it. I've researched conflicting information about when to apply this when it comes to using Retin-A gel. Do I apply this serum before or after Retin-A gel?

Hello Switched my retin-A 0.05% creme to a 0.1% gel and my face turned into a peel off-mask (kind of fun picking your skin), cannot be constantly flaky and red - It's nasty looking. Since My reaction to the stronger concetration is heavy peeling, should I peel my skin once a week with 0.1% and use 0.05% other nights? And is sealing serum and moisturiser into my skin with vaseline ok? It seems to work. Thank you :-)

*Background of my face: nothing that I want / DYING to fix. Im 25. Would just like a nice skincare routine for my age Day: 1) cleanse 2) tone 3) serum- my question is I have vitamin c , hyaluronic acid, b5 serum (which should be applied first to last?) or should they even be applied in the day? 4) moisturizer 5) sunscreen Night: 1) cleanse face with same cleanser as day 2) do same toner? 3) same serums? 4) retinol 5) same moisturizer? Please please. I would really appreciate it

I'm looking for a good vitamin c serum to use along side retin a. Any product recommendations?

After I applied the tretinoin microsphere gel, can I apply vit. c serum as a moisturizer? And, if I apply vit. c serum first, wait 20 minutes, then, apply tretinoin microsphere gel, and then, apply a moisturizer, like argon oil? Thank you very much, doctors. Bobby Dan.
