For this reason you should apply sunscreen everyday after applying retinol the night before.<\/p>\n

Aleskandra said: \u201cWhen using Trenton or nightly you must use sunscreen every single morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

"Tip number four tretinoin and retinols are intended for year round use it is not winter time only you just need to make sure you're sunscreen.\u201d<\/p>\n
