Let me get this correct...you are mixing all these creams together and applying directly to the skin?

I've read that hydroquinone (which is supposed to bleach the skin) was linked to cancer. It's not proven yet but if I were you I'd steer clear from it until we know more about it.

I don't know much about the other ingredients but you're in good hands with Shelley :)

This is far too much for your skin at one time. While you may not see visible irritation on your skin its no telling what is going on under the skin that you can't see and grant it you said you've been using it for two months you could experience what is called a delayed reaction. Glycolic and the Retrieve cream are both exfoliatants. Retrieve is a strong cream that is used mostly for those with dry or sun damaged skin while the Bepanthol cream is for sensitive skin. Using all this together is just far too much.

I would choose the Retrieve cream exclusively since it contains Vitamin A( the ingredient tretinoin which is a generic name for Retin-A. This is a great anti-aging product. Then after some time slowly introduce a glycolic acid serum rotating its use with the Retrieve cream for PM to the point where you are using the Retin-A three days a week the glycolic acid serum for four days. A good percentage for the glycolic acid serum is 10%. And to infuse moisture on the glycolic acid nights top it off with a non-active ingredient moisturizer twenty minutes after application of the glycolic. Something that is super basic and contains zero actives.
