They say to wait 30 minutes, at least, before moisturizing. I experience burning if I don't wait that long. But I do think it can affect the drug some, also. You need to let your skin absorb the drug.

I apply moisturizer immediately after retinoid, no problem at all

Wow... that same thing happens with me, actually. When I apply the two together, I get serious redness and burning!

Someone on the forum asked their dermatologist on behalf of the rest of us (I forgot to ask mine).
