Is it ok to apply emu oil, after applying retin-A, or will this negate the effects of retin-A?

Thanks

Firefly,

Since emu is a carrier oil, I think it would push the retin A into the skin more while helping with the drying effects of the retin A.
A 2 pronged approach. It shouldn't negate the
retin-a at all. Just let it soak in before applying emu.

Oh, I just noticed this question was for Skin Biology. Confused Red Face
HTH until SB gets to your question.

It will push more retin-A into the skin and may intensify its action.
