When should you apply Retin-a in your skincare routine?

[Deleted member 3328]

This is the skincare guide I follow by @Titus7

Basic Skincare Guide

So, a lot of people seem to be confused on Skincare. They aren't sure how to setup a routine, which products to buy, what order to use them in, how to use them properly, and etc. With there being so many products on the market it's easy to get lost, but in reality it's actually quite simple...

I was wondering when is the best time to apply Retin-a as the guide does say anything about it.

When I used adapalene (topical retinoid) I put it on just before moisturiser

But I was wondering if I should apply Retin-a or moisturizer first and how much time I should wait in between

Most advice I read is retin-a,then wait 30 and then moisturizer.

When I was on retin a I just yolo'd it put 0.1% 1/3 tube on per night and went outside and felt like I was Vegeta in the hyperbolic timechamber like a boss.

Shit I'm really starting to regret this username.

To answer the question, use it on an evening but beyond that, it depends.
If you want to buffer it (ie, make it less harsh) either cleanse, Retin A, moisturise immediately. Or cleanse, moisturise, Retin A.
If you don't want to buffer it, cleanse, Retin A, wait 30 minutes, moisturise. Or cleanse, Retin A, sleep.
