I've been using 4% hydroquinone daily for about 40 days and tretinoin 0.025%. I started tretinoin twice a week for the first 2 weeks, then 3 times a week, and for the last 2 weeks I've increased it to every other night (about 4 nights a week). Since increasing the frequency, I've noticed my skin is less glowy the day after tretinoin compared with hydroquinone-only nights, even though I don't have redness, burning, or peeling. Do you think this is because I increased the tretinoin frequency too quickly, or could it be something else? Should I reduce tretinoin back to 3 nights a week for a couple of weeks, or continue every other night and wait for my skin to adapt?
