Update: Last night I fell asleep before putting on my Retin-A and hydroquinone, but I washed my face around 5 and put my face cream on then. It was probably good to give my face a little bit of a break for day considering it was getting pretty dry and peely. Once all the scabs on my face heal, my skin will be completely clear  Hopefully the scabs don't leave any hyperpigmentation marks though  

Day 10: Oops last night I got home and went to bed before posting! I used both the Retin-A and hydroquinone serum last night. I have some very prominent red marks from where the picked at acne is. I'm pretty sad over it, but I mostly just hope it disappears in the next 3 weeks! I had a tiny little pimple that was at a head on the bridge of my nose so I gently popped it, but it seems to be completely fine. Even that I shouldn't have done, so I really need to stop even popping the tiny pimples.
