skin care during pregnancy

Looking for recommendations for skin care products (facial cleanser, face lotion, and body lotion) that are safe during pregnancy. I know salicylic acid, benoxyl peroxide, and retinol A are not recommended. Other than that, I have not received any additional information from my OB. I'd appreciate any thoughts! TIA

    Cetaphil and a Clarisonic were my best friends during pregnancy.

  • Actually, I heard that benzoyl peroxide is generally considered to be safe to use while pregnant.  I haven't actually ever been pregnant myself, but this is what several friends and a dermatologist told me.  Good luck finding good products that work for you!

    Yes, when I was pregnant & needed some sort of zit treatment I did use benzoyl peroxide.  I used Purpose cleanser as well & neutrogena moisturizer.

  • I think you can use glycolic acid while pregnant, but I'm not sure. I used OCM during my pregnancy, or Burt's Bees.

    Clarisonic was a must!

  • Hydrate!!!!!
