what can i use for acne during pregnancy??

[southernjess3]

I read I'm not supposed to use acne medications (salicic acid or something like that)..And soap isn't working..what can i use thats pregnancy safe??

Ask your ob about ZINC. It's a vitamin and works good for some people to help clear up acne

you can try neutrogena products but in all honesty there's so much you "can't" do during pregnancy that people do anyways and their kids turn out just fine.

my acne flared up worst than usual during pregnancy...my ob prescribed a topical lotion which did absolutely nothing...so i just dealt with it...

I used proactiv during my pregnany was never told not too I was fine kid was fine.

you can try the home remedy of dabbing toothpaste on the spots or use honey to help heal them.  I used aveeno face wash during pregnancy and nothing happened.

I use the walmart brand of the neutrogena acne wash. The neutrogena dried out my skin so I tried the cheap stuff, and I haven't broken out since. Its like 4 bucks and lasts me like 3 months. GL momma!

 I didnt know you there was certain face wach you couldnt use while pregnant...hmmmm... I used Neutrogena i think

 maybe proactiv?

witch hazel is natural and can be used as an astringent (sp?)

[mistyray]

you can try every product under the sun but is would just be a wast of money. your hormones are going cray that is why you are breaking out with acne.
