Can I Still Use Retin a or Glycolic Acid if I Am Getting Laser Hair Removal on my Face Every Four Weeks? I have also heard that it is ineffective to use both retin a and glycolic acid at the same time but does that mean if one is in my routine the other should not be, or that I should use them at different times of the day (one in the morning and the other at night)?
