Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Becuase Metrogel is a gel, you will have the peeling off of a gel if you try to apply foundation after the gel has dried. I can only tell from my own method of applying make-up how to do it. I use Retin-A micro, which is a gel. I put a pea sized amount on the specific areas on my face. I then put a dab of foundation right on top of the dabs of retin-A. A half (gel)/half (foundation) mixture. I first spread it and then pat it so I don't get streaks. Once I perfected this technique and learned to work fast, it looks ok. Any kind of gel topical can be applied this way. Sometimes, I put a lightweight moisterizer on before I do the whole process. But that isn't required. The peeling you are experiencing is probably from the Differin. If you are having real troubles with the Metrogel, wear it at night and the Differin in the day. Especially if the Differin is easier to apply with make-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
