Skin dryness after using hydroquinone

2024-11-18 04:34:26
I was using kojic and glycolic acid cream under prescription for three months. This month my doc prescribed hydroquinone 4% to apply once a day on spots. I'm seeing dryness and a Lil skin peeling. I'm applying moisturizer.

Dryness and peeling is because of the glycolic acid that you were using. Not because of hydroquinone. Continue the moisturizer and do consult back with your doctor after 2 weeks of its usage.
