12 weeks in. I look greasy as fuck if I use a moisturizer, especially because I already have naturally oily skin. My moisturizer isn’t even that thick & afaik doesnt have occlusives.

How much longer for tretinoin to reduce oiliness?

Do you have any moisturizer recommendations?

Is there any issue with just not using moisturizer?
 
Double cleanse and then moisturise in the morning.

Eh. Optimally, yeah, it should be an oil-based cleanser first, but it doesn't really matter. Nothing with salicylic acid or any other harsh exfoliants, just a gentle cleanser.
