I've been using this thing called hydroquinone tretinoin baby face num.2 and my face got really red after just three days. I stopped using it, but then my skin started peeling and stayed red for a few more days. Now I've got this really bad rash on my face, which has never happened before. I've always had clear skin and never any acne on my forehead, just some tiny pimples on my cheeks. But now, these small red pimples are all over my face. How can I get my skin back to normal?

I'm using SkinLite on my face every night, and I'm wondering if it's okay to also apply vitamin E capsules afterward. Also, during the day, can I use lemon juice on my face, or would that react badly with the SkinLite? I'm a bit worried about how these might interact with each other.
