If i put moisturizer over my topical acne cream will it effect how it works?
Oct 12, 2008
when i go to sleep, i put differin and duac on my skin, but i like to put a moisturizer over it because it really dries out my skin. does putting the moisturizer over the medication effect how it works? i use my dermatologist recommended oil free nuetrogena moisturizer but i feel like it kind of washes off the medication? does this make sense?
Answer: I don't believe it will affect the acne treatment product, just give it a minute or so for the product to sink in to your skin and then apply the moisturizer.
Answer: It makes sense. I do also put moisturizer on my acne treatment since I’ve super dry and sensitive skin. My mother told me once that sometimes acne won’t be acne but dry skin that has clotted. Moisturizing my skin does help me when I have acne.
