[Product Question] Using a moisturizer with Retin-A Micro

Beauty Tips For Body Care
There’s lots of information about how to use moisturizers with regular Retin-A, however there isn’t much info on how to use them with Retin-A Micro.Because Retin-A Micro uses microsphere technology to deliver the medication slowly over the course of the night, common methods of moisturizer buffering for regular Retin-A cannot be used.Example: Waiting 30-60 minutes and then applying a moisturizer.This would mean that only the medicine released into the skin for the first 30-60 minutes would be absorbed, and the rest would be mitigated or blocked by the moisturizer applied over it. Normal Retin-A is released into the skin instantly so you don’t have this problem.The other option is to apply a moisturizer first, then apply the Retin-A Micro, in a process called “buffering”, which would seem to be the ideal case except that Skinacea warns against it (without providing an alternative method of applying moisturizer).http://www.skinacea.com/retinoids/use-retinoids-right-part-two.html#.W6m-EBYTGEcMany people choose Retin-A Micro because it’s less irritating than regular Retin-A, but if it cannot be (effectively) used with a moisturizer, then the microsphere benefits are essentially wasted due to the irritation caused by not wearing a moisturizer.Does anyone use Retin-A Micro and also use a moisturizer? What process do you use? For those with more technical/advanced skincare knowledge, what are your thoughts?
