Does anyone use retin-a and have a good face wash + moisturizer that works well with it? My face has been peeling incredibly, and I have been wearing sunscreen. All my acne is typically gone, my only problem is discoloration and acne scars.

Hi! I use Retin-A too! What I do is I was my face with Neutrogena's Deep Clean Cream Cleanser at night, wait 30 minutes then apply my Retin-A on my face. In the mornings I use CeraVe's day moisturizer in SPF 30. It will probably take 2-3 months for your skin to adjust to the harshness of the medicine. I use the 0.05% version on my face, and would definitely not recommend anything higher in strength as it can be very harsh for facial skin. Retin-A completely cleared up all my acne and made my face soft and glowing! I hope it works for you, and you should stick with it for atleast 2-3 months too see if it works for your skin or not. Good luck!
