A member asked:

Does hemp seed oil clog pores and is it ok to use as a moisturiser after tretinoin?

Sure can: Any oil or grease can clog up pores. There are plenty of good moisturizing lotions available. Why waste your money on hemp oil. If you want to feel good buy the hemp and smoke it, don't rub it on your skin!
