Face wash solutions??

I was told at my first appointment to discontinue the use of acne washes. My dr actually told me not to use anything that I wouldn't put on my baby's skin. I have no problem with this as obviously I want the best for the little seedling in there...however my face and chest are breaking out so bad!! Anyone have any natural or safe washes they are using and would recommend? I've been using Dove bar soap but it's just not cutting it :( please help!!

    I use Arbonne's face cleanser, I think it's like FC5 or something random. I also use Lush charcoal face scrub, the combo of the two seem to help. I know a place in KOP that sells Arbonne so you don't have to find a distributor if you want that.

    I went to my dermatologist because my skin has gotten worse since I got pregnant. She said it is safe to use a Glycolic Wash (specially Glytone- can be purchased at many derm offices). Also, Erythromycin Gel (prescription) is totally safe to use. I used to use a fabulous Benzoyl Peroxide product, but stopped it once I found out I was pregnant. Good luck!

    I use my Clarisonic with Neutrogena Natural.

    I use Witch Hazel as an astringent on my oily spots.

    I miss my Benz peroxide!

    For me, just stopping the special face washes (was using Neutrogena, then switched to a St. Ives with glycolic acid instead of salycilic) and using our regular, unscented Dove soap on my face has been the best.  I'll still use the scrub once or twice a week because I like the feel of it, but just the Dove on a washcloth has really helped clear up my face and keep it clear, much more than I expected.
