Hey, Ive been using Tretinoin gel on my face every night and I was wondering if it's okay to use a facial bleach to lighten my facial hair while doing this? Are there any precautions I need to take or anything specific I should be aware of to avoid any issues?

Bleach is not at all recommended as it might cause serious side effects like sensitivity allergy etc., so try to avoid it
