Benzoyl Peroxide & Glycolic Acid

How can I incorporate glycol acid into my skincare routine, while I’m also using benzoyl peroxide treatment? I have recently started to use a benzoyl peroxide acne treatment that works wonders into making my pimples be less inflamed and heal away faster, but afterwards it leaves me with a lot of deep hyperpigmentation. I know glycol acid helps with hyperpigmentation, but I also know that you shouldn’t mix or added it at the same time when using benzoyl peroxide. Does anybody know or have any websites/ links that explains the best and most successful way to use those ingredients in your skincare routine?

Alternate. For example use the benzoyl peroxide in the morning and then use the glycolic at night. Or you can use one on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and then use the other Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Or you can alternate weeks. You can use both and still avoid using them in the same routine

i read somewhere that i would need to stop using benzoyl peroxide and then after a few days of not using it, I could use glycolic acid and I was confused. thank you for clearing this up for me!!
