Every night I wash my face with 'simple - Kind to skin Moiusturising facial Wash'

Then 20 mins LATER-- I apply a thin layer of Retin A on red marks on my face. ( I dont get pimples anymore - But just red marks from previous spots)

Should I apply an additional Moisturiser? or would the facial wash that I use will do? if so, which one is recommended for acne prone skin? especially when it gets oil.

thanks for any input in advance.

How long have you used retin a for? I am currently using 0.05% tretinoin cream (similar to renova) and it has been 6 days. My face is freaking hell.... My face is peeling so much, quite red, irritated, and dry. Also, I have used it on neck areas where I still get pimples from shaving mainly. Purging is only happening in neck area and it looks freaking disgusting -_- I wonder how long this will last for...
