Whats the deal? If you cant use Retin-A and catalyst at the same time, is it possible to use Retin-A at night and catalyst during the day? I would like to get a clear answer. I never wanted to let go of Retin-A and I would like to incorporate that somehow.

LightenNlift, Osmosis uses retinaldehyde in their products, and from what I have read the Catalyst can be used with those products (just as an alternative for you). You may want to cross post this on the Osmosis thread that has been active, as Dr. Johnson has replied to questions on that thread. HTH!

Thanks so much for responding guys. I have been using Clarify which has Retinaldehyde 0.75% and it a big turnoff because it comes out looking like Italian pesto sauce and leaves a tint to the skin. So technically, if one can use Retinaldehyde with Catalyst then they could probably use Retin-A? Since Retinaldehyde converts to Retin-A or Retinol anyways. Hope Johnson sees this thread and replies.

I would think technically you could use the RA with it. However, I am not sure if something in the retinoic acid will alter the Catalyst? Hopefully he will see this and answer you! I love the italian pesto comment. The Boost leaves me with a nice orange tint! Laughing
