Can you use cerave resurfacing retinol serum in the morning

OK, OK, I'm being extremely dramatic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wrinkles or fine lines. Honestly if you don't develop quite a few of them as you age, your life has probably been pretty boring. However, I still wanted to take a few preventative measures and step up my skin care game so I could really feel like I was taking care of myself in my thirties.

But here's the thing: I have super sensitive baby angel butterfly skin. Like, my face will break out if you just look at it the wrong way. Because of this, I've typically kept my skin care routine pretty simple with just a cleanser and moisturizer. But once those fine lines started to peek through, I knew it was time to add some extra steps and search for more targeted ingredients.
