Thanks Ivy.
I also read somewhere that you are able to wash your face about an hour after..so if that's true..it would make sense that you could apply moisturizer.
I do ok w/out it at night but I really prefer to use it.
I don't expect to see any real results until 6 mths to a year..so even if moisturizing slowed the process down a bit..it couldn't be that long..and what's a couple months after waiting 6 to a year? LOL
