I'm about to start my first rolling session. You said to apply vitamin C for 4 days consecutively right? (was that for the first roll only or for each rolling session?) What about tretinoin and other products? Can I apply them on top of the vitamin C once it has dried off? Should I continue to apply bp twice a day as recommended? What about moisturizer on top of all those?
(0.5mm roller) (planning to do twice a week)
Eg routine: (the ones below are all in the evenings, since for mornings I do : cleanse, benzoyl peroxide, moisturise, sunscreen)
day 1: tvitC
day 2: vitC, tretinoin
day 3: vitC
day 4: vitC, tretinoin
day 5: first roll, infadolan
day 6: vitC, tretinoin
day 7: empty (or continue with vitC?)
day 8: vitC, tretinoin
day 9: second roll, infadolan
Can I or should I add in aloe vera, emu oil right after derma rolling too?
PS: Does hydroquinone (I know it's possibly bad from http://www.skininc.com/skinscience/ingredients/41973632.html and other alternatives stated there work for hyperpigmentation too?
P.S2: The copper peptide mask you sell, is it a one-time usage mask? How many times can it be used? (I bought one 40ml one) Is it like the vitamin C packet which can be closed again for further use?

Yes, there are some issues with Hydroquinone:

But all skin-lightening creams have issues one way or the other.
Hydroquinone definitely works for hyperpigmentation that is melanin related (the majority of pigmentations are). My reply is #4. It applies to all skin colors:

I will answer the rest of your questions later.

Vit. C for three consecutive days applies prior to rolling once in three weeks with a 1.5 mm roller.
In other cases, applying vit. C every other day or even less is sufficient.
For Tretinoin, it is sufficient as well.
You can apply benzoyl peroxide twice a day but do not apply immediately after dermarolling.
