Gel if you just want to use it on it's own, cream if you want to mix with a moisturiser.
In my experience gel makes me peel more, but cream burns the corners more easily so watch out for that.

Gel is fine btw, and there's barely any difference between the two, you will achieve the same results. If you want to use the gel with a moisturiser using a watered down moisturiser will work, anything that is thinner in texture.

You can try, but when I did the gel just started peeling off before being absorbed, using a thinner moisturiser solved the problem. Give it a try though.

Depends if you've used tret before. If you haven't you can try applying it over moisturiser, but tbh It doesn't make that huge of an impact. You're going to go through a purge phase no matter what.
