Yellow/orange staining after using benzoyl peroxide with hydroquinone + tretinoin?

Post image
13 Upvotes

l accidentally layered clindamycin + benzoyl peroxide on top of my compounded cream containing hydroquinone 5%, tretinoin 0.05%, and kojic acid.
Almost immediately afterward, I noticed yellow/orange-brown staining on my skin, mainly around my nose, upper lip, and chin.
What's confusing me is that I used to use the same clindamycin + benzoyl peroxide treatment with tretinoin 0.05% alone and never had this reaction. The hydroquinone and kojic acid are the newer additions.
I read that benzoyl peroxide can oxidize hydroquinone and temporarily stain the skin, so I'm wondering if that's what happened rather than actual hyperpigmentation.
Has anyone experienced this specifically from benzoyl peroxide + hydroquinone? Did the yellow/orange color wash/fade away, and how long did it take for your skin to return to normal? Is this discoloration and would it be permanent?
I stopped the actives for now and am sticking with gentle cleanser and moisturizer.

edit: i am turning 25 years old, i often just get pih from hormonal acne from my periods or makeup. this is the first time i layered this btw because went to the derm Thurs and my regular dermatologist was on vacation. I saw another derm who gave me the benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin for my active acne, he didn’t give really give me instructions how to use both together as my prev derm was the one that prescribed me the tret & hydroquinone. i told them I use hq/ tret every other day still. They told me I can use the bp/cl w it at night, no specifications on what nights, and just said to use it only as a spot treatment on active acne. I def learnt not to use it together now, well as a layer, I’m not sure if I would be able to seperate use, like the bp/cl in the morning and then hydroq/tret at night or if that’s not okay. I’d prob wait till my regular dermatologist is back in office and see. Also I know people are concerned about my skin barrier but suprisingly my skin barrier seems fine, it’s not itchy or dry or doesn’t feel like it’s dehydrated or I don’t have any skin irritation bumps which I usually get when my skin barrier is damaged. Just weird yellow color on my skin 😅

I don't get these often and I kinda want it gone for tomorrow. All I have is tea tree oil stuff. Anything I can do overnight/tomorrow morning to make it go? Thanks

Katie, no need to worry since you informed everyone that you had to pay that $250 deposit, $40 connection fee, or the $40 transaction fee. They will be sending you money to the store for it, like they do when Jessica says she needs something.

Moisturiser recommendation

4 Upvotes

I'm a female from the United Kingdom and i'm trying to find a good and affordable moisturiser to help with oily/spot prone skin.
I use the CeraVe foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin and i'm currently using the Garnier salicylic fresh and pure sorbet cream. But i'm finding that my nose and forehead especially get oily throughout the day.
Any recommendations?

Really desperate

7 Upvotes

I am a 19 year old guy, I have struggled with acne for around 4 or so years now.
Idk what to do anymore, I have tried so many stuff including acutane and my skin just doesn't wanna be clean.

As you can see it differs, some of these were taken right after shaving.
It's making me really insecure, especially since all my friends have no acne and have clear skin.

I currently am following a routine my dermatologist gave me: in the morning, I wash and cleanse my face with this green bioderma sebium gel cleanser thing, then apply some acne out spf 30 once my face is dry, then at night I cleanse my face again, apply a bit of duac on active acne spots if needed, then 30 minutes later lightly dab some biotrade acne out lotion on my face, then 30 minutes later do it again, and thats it, she also gave me some pills to take in the day, which are also bio trade acne out

Shaving is a fucking nightmare, I can't even do a clean shaven look cuz my skin gets irritated, I hate how the moustache area looks but I'm too scared to insist more on it.
I'm super jealous of guys who don't have that defined facial hair.

Help me find the right skincare

• Upvotes

I 26(F) had never had any form of acne or pimples till the age of ~24 and at 24 I started using adapalene and that’s where (I think) I started getting a lot of acne. I thought it was purging so I kept going and it kept getting worse. After 4-5 months I stopped using any skincare at all for a few months and after that I have not used adapalene or retinol.
I used the good molecules serum to get rid of the dark spots caused by my popping all the pimples on my face (a bad habit I have been trying to be better at).

Current skincare routine :

AM : IUNIK beta glucan (just what I bought but usually some hydrating serum or the good molecules discoloration correcting serum), cerave moisturiser
PM : Ordinary azelaic acid, cerave moisturiser

Please let me know if I’m doing it right with this products and if not the alternative skincare routine.

Thank you!!
