I use retino a 0.04%gel at night for one hour then I wash my face with normal water and after another 1 hour I use tivenca gel at night and goto sleep. My question is when I use tivenca gel I wash my face with normal water one more time then I apply for gel. Does it reduces efficacy of the retina a gel? Please reply me as soon as possible.
