Safe anti-aging products your using during pregancy?

I'm approaching 41 and was using Kate Somerville products which contain some of the no-no's you shouldn't be using while pregnant. So what is everyone using now during this time to keep your skin from breaking out and help those wrinkles!

    I bring all of my products to my doctor and have her check the ingredients list.  

    I found this really really helpful to cross reference

    I am a skin care junky so this was tough.  I think the big no no is salicylic acid (which I think is in a lot of Kate S suff) but glycolic acid is fine, thank god!  I use Skinceuticals Phloretin CF which I love and my dr okay'd.  A friend works for the company (so I got for free) and it has a cult following - but it's pricey. It's a serum I wear under moisturizer during the day.  I also recently got Peter Thomas Roth Complexion Correction Pads.  Highly reviewed - used for acne and wrinkles - I don't really have acne but use it before moisturizer at night for wrinkles. I LOVE them and they have made a difference.
    Me: 37 DH: 37 TTC since Jan 2012. RE consult and initial testing done in Aug 2012: SA fine, AMH 1.1 & HSG clear - on way to IUI but got BFP on 9/10/2012. m/c 10/3/2012 at 6w5d. BFP next cycle which was a c/p. IUI #1: Clomid 100mg 12/6= BFN. IUI#2 (unmedicated) Jan 2013 = BFN. Hysteroscopy 1/25/13. IUI#3 Clomid 100mg 2/23 = BFN IUI# 4: BFN. IVF #1 April 2013, BFP!  EDD 1/12/14 with Boy!

    Does anyone know if face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are ok?  I know cream aren't, but I thought maybe since it's just a face wash that you rinse right off, those might be ok?

    I'm not sure, I just noticed my face wash had salicylic acid and I just bought it prior to being pregnant. Now I need, face wash, toner and a moisturizer and I would love to get some eye cream too! I've been researching all day on Sephora for products and so far I've only found an eye cream and toner.

    Salicylic acid should be fine in minimal amounts.  It's not like your eating it.  If you are worried at all though, I wouldn't use it.  It's not worth the added stress.

    I use a tea trea oil face wash, witch hazel as toner and coconut oil as a moisturizer.
