Buffering/mixing with moisturizer limits risk of irritation/flaking/dryness. If you buffer, first ro
apply moisturizer, wait 30 minutes, then apply Retin-A. If you mix, just mix some moisturizer with Retin-A. For more moisture you can apply moisturize

TCA as in the peel???? that is not something to be layered. Bare skin, timed exactly, no actives

Interesting article...though with my sensitive skin, I'm left out of all the procedures ++

I don't believe in specific "eye" creams. I just use my regular facial products like serum, oil, rop
moisturizer, ss and Tretinoin Cream around my eyes as well so the area gets all the antioxidants, emollients and actives it needs for health and anti-
