Hello and thank you for your question. The fewer products you use, the less chance there is of irritation. It can be difficult to combine bleaching products with other skin care treatments without causing irritation. There are a few products that can enhance a bleaching cream’s performance. These can include vitamin C products, tretinoin, a separate alpha hydroxy acid product, and special cleansers or toners to prep the skin. With the exception of the prepping products, it is wise to alternate the use of the two products rather than applying both at the same time. This will minimize the risk of irritation or adverse reactions. You can use Kojic acid during the day with rigorous use of daily SPF, reapplying every two hours, and your retinol for nighttime. Best of luck.
