What acne treatments can you use while pregnant?
I am currently on Retina-Micro and using neutrogena face wash with 2 % Sal. Acid. I sometimes use mask, and peels ( not strong) like from Wal-mart. I’ve searched a few sites. I was just curious what you mothers use for acne. I’ve had acne since I was 12 so it’s nothing new to me. Thanks for you suggestions ! =)

I’ve read that salicylic acid is not allowed while you’re pregnant. find something with benzoyl peroxide as it’s active ingredient.

Definitely check with your doctor. However, something that I know for sure is safe is IVORY soap (the old-fashioned white bar). I had horrible acne and it worked great believe it or not! You should really try it for yourself. I also supplement the IVORY soap washings (I usually use it at night) with St.Ives Apricot Scrub with Salicylic Acid (Spelled that wrong i think). It exfoliates and has acne medication in it..and it smells great too!
