You *can* but that would impair the absorption of it. You would be diluting it. If you want to apply a moisturizer, I would do it afterwards, waiting a hour or so.

Who knows? Why would you waste it by hindering its absorption?

It would depend on what the ingredients of the moisturizer are (whether they form a film that prevents anything from getting past the skin barrier), and what form of tretinoin you use.

If you want to decrease the irritation, then it is best to use a moisturizer BEFORE Retin A. It you have already got used to Retin A & just want to add moisture, then use it AFTER Retin A.

It seems that light bulb can degrade tretinoin; any thoughts?
