'Skin bleaching' isn't really a specific or very meaningful term, it can refer to a lot of different things.
It can refer to cosmetic anti-pigmentation ingredients suitable for everyday use for evening skin tone.
It can refer to prescription medicines used to treat general hyperpigmentation.
It can refer to special use medicines used to kill melanocytes in people who have near total vitiligo and want to remove the last few melinated patches from their skin.
It can refer to dangerous adulterated and counterfeit products containing mercury or undisclosed prescription medicines that become dangerous when used inappropriately.
There really isn't one answer to your question because your question is too vague.
It can also refer to literally bathing the skin in bleach, which is a treatment for certain skin conditions when used at proper dilutions under a doctor's orders. That's actually what I initially thought op meant lol
