Can I Mix Hydroquinone with Tretinoin and a Moisturizer?

swissmiss
I have melasma. I know about triluma but my dermatologist gave me 4% hydroquinone gel as well as a tube of 0.025% of tretinoin cream that I want to use up first. Can I mix these 2 ingredients as well as a moisturizer and apply it to my face and body. At Night? How would I apply? How long would I do this treatment for? Thank you.
