I've been using Tretinoin cream for about a month now to tackle my hyperpigmentation, but instead of seeing improvements, my face and neck are getting darker. I'm really concerned and wondering if this increased darkness is normal and will eventually go away on its own. Could you share some insights on what might be happening?

Is Vaseline good for hair?

Vaseline doesn't have any moisturising properties when it comes to hair and inturn it makes your hair greasy and to get rid of greasiness it takes lot of shampoo which can make your hair dry. Short answer- no

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

why it is used in hair loss issue

Head and shoulders anti hair fall shampoo is one of the best shampoo to reduce hair fall at this price. It really worked for me which no other shampoo did. It is best to be used in winter season because in winters we tend to have more hair fall because of dandruff in scalp
