Skincare for pregnancy

[katej1]

Can anyone recommend skincare products they used during pregnancy?

My husband is a perinatal physician and he said that you really only need to be mindful of avoiding retinol and any derivative of it. I used a lot of Caudalie products because all of their products are pregnancy safe. I can't recommend their concentrated brightening essence enough. Within a week, it lightened my dark spots (mostly freckles that had gotten darker during my pregnancy) and made my skin look a lot brighter. I've also been told that Tacha products were made to be pregnancy safe.

Hi @katej1,

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I recommend reaching out to your Physician for more assistance with pregnancy safe skincare for you! Thank you!

Best,

@katej1 I am pregnant right now and use more of the clean by Sephora products.  You can ask your OB GYN what products are safe for you but there are products to avoid like retinol, salicylic acid, parabens, etc. You can do a Google search. What one person recommends may not be right for you or you may think it’s not safe for you and your baby. I did a lot of research when I was first pregnant and now just going off on what worked for me before with my current pregnancy.
