Can Lytera be mixed with Glycolic Acid or Retinol? (Photo)

ldanielsen
I've getting IPL treatments for brown spots which are helping. The nurse recommended I use Lytera (I'm allergic to hydroquinone) to aid the process. I use an AHA ( Paula Begoun glycolic/salicylic) on & off before bed, can I mix the two together just to treat the spots?
