Can we use Hydroquinone with Glycolic acid in same routine?

Has anyone tried using Hydroquinone along with Glycolic acid peel/mask in their regime? i was using Murad dark spot correction serum at PM earlier. Now I want to incorporate Drunk Elephant TLC and Babyfacial in my night routine. Hydroquinone and Glycolic acid are both PM products so I'm not sure how to use them together? Can I layer them? in what order? or should I not use them the same day. Any help is great! Thanks!

You can use them together; I use a product that contains both. How often and when for you is going to depend on your skin and how well it tolerates the addition of AHA. I'd start the TLC slowly, only once or twice a week, perhaps skipping your hydroquinone that night until you can ascertain how your skin is doing with the new product. Then slowly increase your AHA as desired, monitoring for any changes or unwanted side effects.

 

Is this your first experience with AHAs? If so, I'd recommend skipping babyfacial for now. Gauge how your skin does with TLC first before adding something so ridiculously strong. With regular milder exfoliation, you may find you don't need babyfacial at all.
