Is the usage of Retin-A and hydroquinone okay after 6 months?

goldilocksgolden
Hi, I'm using Retin A and hydroquinone for my acne. I was told to stop using hydroquinone after 6 months because it will stop working or cause darkening of skin Do I have to stop using it. Because I was thinking that if the Retin A is renewing skin cells, then the hydroquinone shouldn't have any reverse effects. Is this true? Or should I just stop my routine?
