Combo: Safe enough. Works better when combined with tretinoin [Retin A] and other things. Do not use for more than a few months because sometimes long, continuous use without pause may cause a paradoxical DARKER skin.

OK: Avoid sun exposure during use. May need to use it for several weeks/months for improvement to occur.
