I read somewhere to do a patch test with any new product. They said try it on the inside of your wrist and wait 24 hours. Interesting -- put moisturizer on first? I would probably have put it on afterwards. Thank you!

Oh, you're welcome, AngelPuppy1!!
Yes, moisturizer helps to keep a barrier between your skin and the product. My daughter has the same skin type as I do, and last year she was having horrible break-outs. No way to see a dermatologist, but watched DrDray on youtube. She gave advice about how to apply it and why to use it. Azaleic acid was the best thing to use on my daughter's skin as it really helped with her slow down her break-outs. I started using it with my daughter and loved it.
I've always appplied moisturizer on my skin before any acid or retinol. My skin is SO sensitive. It is a much easier way for me to tolerate products that can be beneficial to the skin, but would normally just cause major irriation, and I'd have to give up, if I hadn't used a moisturizer as a barrier.

DITTO! That's why I mix some of my serums. Paula's Choice serums mix wonderfully, so I cut my steps in half.

I use Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid and love it! No irritation from it.
Like @SurferWife, I mix my Paula's Choice products. They work wonderfully for my skin.
