   Acne medication before the moisturizer and sunscreen. If you put it over, ti takes longer for the medication to penetrate. Just wait for the acne medication to dry a little before you apply the moisturizer.

   Yes you can,
   but- you have to wait for the acne medication to set
   i usually wait about 5 minutes, and that seems to work nicely.
   then i put sunblock and moisturizer on
   the reason for this is that the acne medication can better penitrate the skin when it doesnt also have to fight its way past your other topical products
   the reason u have to wait five minutes before applying is simple-
   think about it, if you apply acne medication without allowing it to set rubbing in your other products will move the medication alllllll around your face
   if the medication ends up on areas that dont need it it will dry your skin out
   i hope that helps!!!
