You can apply before using the Retin A and it will decrease the irritation and dryness commonly associated with habitual use of prescription vit A products.

You use this serum both morning and night PRIOR to applying any of your face and eye creams. Simply let it soak in first and then apply your other creams.

Always wash your face before applying. Leave it on overnight. Wash face in the morning, reapply if you have a bad breakout, but put on an oil free moisturizer after applying it. You should see results after several days.

You can use another retinol on top if your skin can handle it with out getting irritation ( peeling, redness ) other wise you can use another moisturizer on top I do because I don't find it moisturizing enugh for my skin. Just always use your serums first before moisturizer.

Hello, I am actually an Esthetician and my medical spa sells the Obagi products. If it's at night, this should be the last thing you apply. If it's during the day, it should be the last thing you apply right before the sunblock. Let everything soak in before applying sunblock. If your skin is not very dry, you might only need to apply it at night but if it is more on the dry side then once in the morning and once at night should be good enough.

I use it in the mornings after my shower... before I put on my moisturizer, and I do put on my make up-over it... I just let it dry first. I only use it in the mornings... If I am going out and dressing up, I may apply a little more in the evening.. buts in not needed.

You should wait a minimum of 20 minutes after applying any retinol serum, before applying moisturizer.

I always color before the treatment and it works fine. if you can't color before the keratin, then you need to wait at least 2 weeks after the treatment

After not before. Follow the instruction package for best results. Be sure to cleanse before treatment and you can use a numbing cream during the treatment but that is optional. I saw results after my first treatment but depending on your condition it can take a few treatments before you see results.

Yes. I recommend using a moisturizer after this. It is a treatment, not a moisturizer. Wait 10-15 min before adding moisturizer and then add make up..

Actually, you use it both ways just as you said. Put it on in the morning before you start applying makeup, let it dry, then proceed with the rest of your makeup routine. At night, after you shower, apply again, then go to sleep, per the instructions included.

After, you would usually apply your moisturizer 1st, and your protective sunscreen layer after.

Yes, I put on the Lytera first, then moisturizer with sun screen after. In the evening, I put the Lytera on first, then use my night time moisturizer. I asked my esthetician if this routine was okay, and she said it was fine.

I do. I'm pretty sure it's best to use a moisturizer after any serum. Mainly because serums are kinda liquidey and require a bit of time before they leave your face feeling soft and supple. In contrast, moisturizer instantly hydrates.
