Tracy21 0 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I am trying to get rid of my dark spots as quickly as possible. Yet I am scared that my acne will recur if I stop using the benzoyl peroxide. Can I use benzoyl peroxide together with 2% hydroquinone?? I am really desperate. I was thinking I could just apply the vanishing 10% benzoyl peroxide then after some minutes or hours then I could apply the 2% hydroquinone....what do I do???Please Help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy21 0 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I know about some of the side effects of hydroquinone, but right now I think it's worth the risk.. I want to use it only at night and only on the dark spots. So I wanted to know if I could still apply benzoyl peroxide then hydroquinone after a few minutes or so.Thanks for the warning though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TG 1 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I don't think it is recommended to use the two together, the marks may get darker. At least that's what it says on the literature that comes with the prescription hydroquinone cream. I think maybe if you wait long enough in between it may work, i'd be careful though.And 2% creams take forever to work, the 4% is the way to go (need a script).
