Can I use benzoyl peroxide with hydroquinone?

Short answerNo

No — don't combine them in the same session. Real but cosmetic-only — oxidizers convert hydroquinone to colored products, temporarily staining skin brown/orange (washes off); DermNet advises not using other topicals, particularly benzoyl peroxide, with hydroquinone.
