Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Supatret gel contains tretionoin which can cause drying of skin.
You should use any non-oily moisturizer to moisten your skin. You can also use calamine if you feel that your skin is feeling irritated and there is redness. It is expected that your skin will adjust with this preparation in mean time. Start with a very small quantity and gradually increase as per the sensitivity of your skin.
SPER sunscreen lotions of any good brand can be used safely along with this. They will protect from sun burn.
I hope this will be helpful.
Take care.
