| Is there a contraindication for using all three of these on the skin at the same time? |

Well, I found an answer to one part of my question:
from http://yalenewhavenhealth.org/library/healthguide/en-us/drugguide/topic.asp?hwid=d01319a1:
"Do not use hydroquinone topical with benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, or other peroxide products. A temporary dark staining of the skin may occur. If hydroquinone topical is accidentally used with a product that contains peroxide, wash the skin with soap and water to remove the staining." |

"Tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide neutralize each other when applied at the same time. Talk to your doctor about the use of these two products in conjunction with each other."

So you probably shouldn't use BP and Retin-A micro together. I think it works ok if you apply one during the day and the other at night. |

| The obagi system uses hydroquinine and retin-A together so that is fine to do. I know nothing about BP. |

| Thank you for the input here BinaryStar and loopylori. Looks like I'll be cutting BP out of my regime temporarily. |
