So I’ve been consistently using tret.025 3 times a week for about a month and a half I’ve been using the sandwich method where I apply a moisturizer wait and then tret. However I’ve been seeing people say that using a moisturizer before makes it less effective. I tried this week to put it on bone dry skin and I ended up getting a lot of redness and my skin now stings when I put anything on it besides jojoba oil. My question is does putting a moisturizer on before tret make it less effective or work less? Would it be ok to use a moisturizer 1-2 hrs before then apply it? Should I also try to work up to eventually putting it on bone dry skin in the future if so how would I go about that?

So I’m looking for a concealer that creases less I have pretty dry undereyes and my concealer always settles into my fine lines within a hour I know a creaseless concealer isn’t out there and it’s inevitable but maybe there’s one that creases less if that makes sense. I’m also looking for setting powder that doesn’t have a completely matte finish but a more natural/ satin finish for reference I’m really pale and a cool undertone with not an ounce of warmth to me so not a powder with a warm undertone ( a lot of powders do for some reason). I’m also looking for a primer I would say my skin is sensitive, dry/ combo and I usually go for a more natural finish to my makeup look. For years I was oily now I’m on BC and tret and also about to hit my mid 20s and now my skin type is completely different so any primer that works for more dry sensitive skin would probably work
