Question by aaron: Is it safe to put on moisturizer right before I put on any acne treatments?
Will I get any undesired effects if I put on moisturizer right before I put on my clindamycin lotion?

Will it be bad if I put it on right before I put on tretinoin (Retin-A) before I go to bed?

Or should I put it on after I put on my treatments?

When you are using medication for acne you should be putting this on a clean, dry skin. Use your medication, wait about 15 min – then use the moisturizer. If you don’t you may not get the desired result from the med’s.
