Retin A and Eldoquin as a chemical peel
Retin A is a vitamin A derivative (tretinoin) and does cause mild peeling (exfoliation) and rejuvenation of the skin. Eldoquin is hydroquinone which is a bleaching agent and is more effective in combination with Retin A. However, hydroquinone can cause severe problems in some patients, especially those with a tendancy for pigmentation difficulty. Alone or together they do not function as a chemical peel, which is in essence a chemical burn of the skin.
