@AmbikaPundir congrats. I think you would need to ask your OBGYN as we are not medical professionals on here. I don’t think anyone wants to recommend you a product and have something happen. when I was pregnant I was googling everything and asking my OB.

@sparkles0913 As a Mom of 2 I never trusted brands on what they said was pregnancy safe and tried to do my own research on what to use. At the end of the day you should trust your own judgement as well as your OB on what to use. I see it brought up on here so often on what is safe to use and I would never recommend porducts to people and tell them to talk to their OB.

@MrsAllison (or anyone else reading this and struggling with their mental health right now). You are not alone. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to or need help finding resources to cope with how you're feeling, you can text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line) and be connected to a trained Crisis Counselor who can chat with you over text. Sometimes just getting it all out there and having someone else be there for you in those most difficult moments can be so incredibly helpful. All the best to you.

Hi @Canadabear ! Judging by your username, I assume you're in Canada...? I'm not sure what's available over-the-counter in Canada vs. the US, but hopefully my product recommendations are easy to find where you live. A good skincare routine at any age can be as simple as a gentle PM cleanser, AM & PM moisturizer, and AM sunscreen. (An AM face wash is optional for some people, based on what their skin needs.) So I recommend: Gentle cleanser (nightly; optional in the morning) - CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam cleanser if the pre-teen boy's skin is "normal"/balanced to dry. If his skin is typically oily, CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser may be a better option. You really just want a cleanser that won't leave his skin feeling dry, tight, or "squeaky clean." Also, remind him that he doesn't need to scrub/rub his face hard for cleanser to work. CeraVe's available at local drugstores. Also consider Cetaphil or Vanicream, 2 other effective drugstore brands. Moisturizer (morning and night) - Depending on his skin type/behavior, consider CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (contains petrolatum and is good for dry skin; note that petrolatum does not clog pores and is the most occlusive—waterloss-preventing—skincare ingredient available) or CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (oil-free; contains dimethicone instead of petrolatum and has a lighter texture than the cream moisturizer). Many folks with oily skin like CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer (oil-free, dimethicone-based, light texture; can be used AM & PM). I have mostly-dry combo skin and use Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer in the morning. Vanicream Moisturizing Cream is another one to consider for dry skin. Also consider Cetaphil moisturizers. Broad spectrum sunscreen (daily) - Should be at least SPF 30 and applied to ALL skin exposed to sunlight (eyelids, ears, behind ears, nape of neck, hairline, etc.) all year long, regardless of weather or season. Doesn't matter if it's a mineral/physical or chemical sunscreen, since both types work mostly the same way and one's not better than the other (despite what the "clean beauty" crowd claims). A sunscreen that contains at least one good moisturizing ingredient can be used as both moisturizer and sunscreen, which shortens the morning skincare routine. Finding "the right" sunscreen involves trial and error, since there's a lot of personal preference involved. I can't speak to CeraVe's sunscreens as I've never used them, but they do make a couple of SPF 30 moisturizers as well as several straight-up sunscreens. I think all their sunscreens are mineral (zinc oxide) except their AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, which is a hybrid (chemical + mineral) sunscreen. Vanicream recently launched a mineral sunscreen I haven't tried yet. Also consider sunscreens by La Roche-Posay, Eucerin, Cetaphil, and Aveeno. If those sunscreens contain an ingredient like petrolatum, dimethicone, shea butter, or squalane, then it can probably be used as a moisturizer, at least outside of winter. (I live in Chicago. During winter here, I need my usual Vanicream moisturizer under whichever sunscreen I use.) Once he gets used to this simple routine, consider introducing a salicylic acid (BHA) cleanser that he can swap out with his regular cleanser a few times a week to treat acne. CeraVe makes 2 of them, though I recommend their Acne Control Cleanser that contains 2% BHA. The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL is another good option (also contains 2% BHA). Tell him to lather it onto his skin, let it sit for a couple minutes, and then rinse it off. That'll give the BHA long-enough skin contact to do its job.
