A member asked:
Is it safe to use bio oil on top of retin-a at night ? because i know bio oil evens skin tone and retin-a helps with acne, so is it safe ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you have acne, bio oil may contribute to more. I would use an oil free non comedogenic moisturized like cerave lotion.
