Hi everyone!

I have a question about combining tretinoin and retinal in a routine.

Right now I’m thinking of doing a 3-night cycle:
• Night 1: tretinoin routine
• Night 2: retinal routine
• Night 3: recovery (no actives, just hydration/barrier repair)

Does this kind of rotation actually make sense, or is retinal basically pointless if you’re already using tretinoin?

I’m asking because I already have a few unopened retinal products and don’t want them to go to waste 😅

Would love to hear if anyone has tried something similar or if there’s a better way to use both. Thanks!
