You can use it in combination.
Use a good face wash
If your skin is oily then using retinoids is good.
Consult your doctor first.
HQ 3. % for longer duration is not recommended.Use a good sunscreen daytime.And skin lightening agents not containing HQ and steroids night time along with vit c topical and oral will help.
You can think of mild skin peel .
Anti oxidants and dilatory supliments are must
