Moistorizer
I have acne prone dry sensitive skin. In my morning routine I use cetaphil cleanser, A derma ah duo Epithaliale cream as moistoriser... and sunscreeen(uv doux spf 50).
In my pm routine I wash my face and use tretin(0.025) with a derma cream(mixing both).
I want an affordable moistoriser option that I can use with tretin. A derma one is a bit expensive for me.
Can I use bioderma etoderm moistoriser (normal to dry) with tretin?
I read that bioderma has citric acid in it and I have read vitamin c and tretin don't go together.
Please suggest me a affordable moistoriser to use with tretinoin...

Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Bioderma works
Minimalist sepicalm is another good cheap option
Vitamin C is ascorbic acid not citric
Citric acid, Sorbic acid etc is an antibacterial agent to prevent the moisturer from going bad
I would suggest against further diluting 0.025% tretinoin, if irritation is concern use microsphere formulation, or adapalene
Squalene based moisturiser is good for packing in retinoids
It's better if you establish skin care goals and discuss with a dermatologist as self buying unsuitable products will waste money than seeking suitable products with dermatologist opinion
