Question 1

can i use glycolic soap together with hydrocortisone cream?

Accepted Answer

Glycolycic soap: It depends what you are using them for. Glycolic acid can cause irritation to the skin and can cause the skin cells to shed faster. If you want to use Hydrocortisone to decrease this irritation it is not particularly a good idea. It would be better to decrease the dose and application frequency of the glycolic soap. If the Hydrocortisone was to treat a different condition then it might be ok to us.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Contact manufacturer: The contents of commercial products are generally listed on the container along with contact information for the manufacturer. Since the contents of products vary and you did not specify one product you will need to contact the individual source for such information. While shopping you can take down the details from products of interest &amp; if needed the contact information before purchase.

Question 3

Nowadays peels are a combination of Alpha and beta hydroxy acids with added compounds like resorcinol, retinoic acid, etc to lighten, calm and hydrate the skin during recovery after the treatment.

Question 4

can i use glycolic acid and benzoil peroxide at the same time?

I would avoid: using those together as they could irritate your skin, especially if in the sun. Try alternating between the two daily. Best of luck.

Question 5
