A member asked:
Can i use collagen boosting moisturizer above the retinoid (retacnyl tretinoin) ? also, is the use of a retinoid compatible with breastfeeding?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not while breastfeed: Don"t use a retinoid while breastfeeding - it has never been studied and could be harmful. The other stuff is a waste of money as these creams and lotions have no way to penetrate the skin and "boost" collagen.

Yes and NO!: Yes you can use the collagen boosting cream over retinoids and no you should not nurse or breastfeed.
