Can you answer archlydia’s question about Anti-Aging?:
I’ve been using a vitamin C serum for quite a while with nice results (improved skin texture) and my doctor recently prescribed tazorac (acne) and hydroquinone (short term basis for melasma). I was told to use the hydroquinone twice daily. Will this interfere with the tazorac or vitamin C serum? What’s the best way to combine (or not combine) them? I do not have sensitive or easily irritated skin and I know the risks of hydroquinone. My doctor said that using the tazorac will also help the hydroquinone work faster. Any suggestions?

Typically Vitamin C is not recommended for use with acne prone skin as it tends to aggravate the condition. I would check with your physician on discontinuing use of Vitamin C based products until after the acne is cleared.
Hydroquinone and Tazorac in the p.m. and definitely physical block sunscreen in the a.m.
Anti-Aging Feedback: Use your vitamin C serum AM and the hydroquinone and Tazorac PM. Put the hydroquinone on first, let it dry and then apply the Tazorac.
