Are facial products with Retinol dangerous to use while breastfeeding?

I can find lots of info about Vitamin A (retinol is a form of Vitamin A) and breastfeeding in reference to food and supplements, but not about its use on the skin. I've heard that it's dangerous....can someone please clear this up for me?Are facial products with Retinol dangerous to use while breastfeeding?
My dermatologist said not to use retin-a while pregnant. It is absorbed through the skin and could be unhealthy for the fetus is what I was told.
