Thank you for your question. You can use facewash with benzoyl peroxide with a tretinoin cream, however, it can be drying to the skin. I would suggest using a nice moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and apply it after the Tretinoin cream (2 minutes between application), morning and night. If you are still dry then use the Tretinoin every other night at first until your skin get's used to it.

Thank you for your question. Benzoyl peroxide wash and tretinoin cream can be use to treat dark spots, but results take time and might be minimal. Other treatment options include lightening agents such as hydroquinone, or chemical peels, or laser treatments. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your skin evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
