Can I use hydroquinone fade cream after I applied 30% glycolic acid chemical peel?

Question

Will this burn my skin at all after I used the chemical peel? I don't want to burn my skin and get rid of the black mark for ever

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

I often give my patients hydroquinones and Retinoids after their skin comes back to normal from chemical peels.  These creams prime the skin for peels and act in unison to help reduce pigmentation more effectively and quickly.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in chemical peels and these cosmetic products.  Best, Dr. Green

This is a good idea if you have a tendency towards skin darkening. The use of HQ can help, however be guided by your Specialist as to the application strength, frequency and timing. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
