i've decided

in 2nd Trimester

to start using benzoyl peroxide again.  i've heard tons and tons of arguements about how it can be absorbed through the skin into your system etc etc, however my acne is bad and there is no proof that it actually harms the fetus... so like my weekly glass of red wine, i will occassionally dot my mamoth zits. 

and that is all i have to say for now.

    benzoyl peroxide is about as benign as it comes.  There is a <2% chance of systemic absorption.  Either way, the only reported adverse reactions are dryness, redness, and peeling.  It was ok'd by the dermatologist I consult with and my OB.

    Heck, I've been using my proactive mask as a spot treatment, it has both benzoyl and sulfur. I am not going to spend the next five months looking like a 14 year old girl going through puberty, so I don't blame you one bit.
