After developing a sort of allergic reaction to salicylic acid which left my combination skin painfully dry and flaky, I ended up layering squalane oil over a very light moisturizer with snail mucin. Worked like a charm, much better than moisturizer or oil by themselves. The circumstances were very specific, though 🙂

If my skin needs extra moisturizing, like in the winter months, I’ll pat on some oil after moisturizer at night or I’ll mix a few drops into my moisturizer. I only do this at night time.

In reply to Alan. Alan, glad you've found a retinol products that work for you. Oils like Squalane have big molecules. When they create a barrier on the skin, these molecules don't create an even layer. There are still gaps here and there where smaller molecules can get through. It may reduce their effectiveness a little but it won't make them useless. Or you can use them at different times of day. For ex, vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night,
