I love love Elta MD sunscreen/moisturizer in mornings. I sometimes use the Cerave AM sunscreen/moisturizer if I need something thicker.


Which Elta MD do you use?

What moisturizer should I use?
Any hydro gel type I’ve tried burns like heck.
I’ve been slathering on Nivea cream in the evening but need some moisturizer for mornings.

Overall dry skin that’s now more sensitive with Tretinoin use


All those hydro gels burn like fire! I think they’re just not for eve fry one.

Also, Vitamin C should be in the morning with the CE ferulic serum.

After my serums, I mix a few drops of The Ordinary’s squalene with the most basic Cetaphil in the mornings (https://a.co/d/9kjlxq6). Then follow with Trader Joe’s supergoop dupe SPF. It’s been a great combo for me.


CE ferulic IS a vitamin C serum, and a super potent one at that. You do not need an additional vitamin C serum and certainly not at night with tret. That is way too much

It’s probably the niacinamide

I have been using rose hip oil lately and I’m loving it. So is my skin. I use it around my eyes at night so my tret doesn’t get to my sensitive skin. And I use it in the mornings too.

Deiux - the cream in a tube - is perfection for the type of skin you describe. It's changed my skin. I also use the serum Holy grail forever.

Same! I love this stuff. I use it at night on non-tretonin days. I use it in the morning before my Elta Md SPF lotion.


Same exact routine, except I also use it on trentinoin nights (I actually sandwich with it on trentinoin nights)- curious what moisturizer you use on your tretinoin night?

You should be using the Vitamin C in the morning - not in combo with the Tretinoin at night. Ask your dermatologist to confirm.

Seriously -- you are recommending "sun" for mature skin?

Do not listen to this person. USE SPF. Skip the "tallow" and "castor oil" and UV light.

I use tret & vitamin c and I really, really like the Weleda Baby Face moisturizer. It's inexpensive, isn't slimy/oily and doesn't irritate my skin.

And it's not expensive.
