Do you appy a moisturizer after putting on retinol?

Yes, it's generally recommended to apply a moisturizer after using retinol. Retinol can be drying to the skin, so following up with a moisturizer helps to hydrate and soothe the skin, reducing potential irritation. Some people also choose to apply moisturizer before retinol to create a buffer, especially if they have sensitive skin. Always start slowly with retinol to gauge how your skin reacts.
