if you dont have any somewhat occlusive ingredient in your moisturizer, the moisture that aloe vera + glycerol holds will leave from your skin thus bit useless

go to r/tretinoin at reddit.com, I should remind you you are not to put it near your lips at all if your doing that stop if youre not put on vaseline in your lips to prevent the tret from getting absorbed in that area
