2nd Trimester

2nd Tri Acne

Any good suggestions?  I haven't had acne in years and I used to use ProActiv at that time (until the toner bleached all of my face towels - not a good sign!)  Does anyone have any brand favorites or skin care solutions?

  • Ah, yes, don't you just love it? Ugh, I broke out worse than a thirteen year old - face, neck, back...so lovely in the summertime. Anyway, I don't know if you need a long term solution. Mine has gone away. I used Neutrogena clearing face wash and also body wash. Hang in there - it probably won't last.

  • same here. i haven't had acne in years, and as soon as i hit 20 weeks, BAM! my face looks like a horn-dog 13 year old little boy's! the only thing that has helped it is washing with anti-bacterial soap when i wake up, in the middle of the day, and before i go to sleep.
  • THANKFULLY mine has only been on my chin(but I am a picker, I hate bumpy scabs...), but I got some blackhead scrub im going to try and I just order a free sample of Burt Bee's new acne wash. I hope it works!
  • Steer clear of products that contain salicylic acid (not good during pregnancy) My product of choice is Cetaphil.  It has worked wonders for me.
  • This has been driving me crazy since about 6w pregnant.  I've tried a few different things, but I think Cetaphil is the best.  I'm washing about 3 times a day b/c my face seems pretty oily right now
