I am developing small popped blood vessels on my face & they will not stop forming! I recently got the Cosmelan peel which is an intense peel for melasma. The maintenance cream is a whopping 10% hydroquinone and 0.1% tretinion paste! I have been using it for a month+. I read hydroquinone thins the skin, especially this percentage. I am receiving a KTP laser treatment to zap these spots. Doc said it might be hormonal? Should I discontinue the maintenance cream? Is it too harsh, thinning the skin?
