  Definitely something to talk to your ob about. We're not the right ones to give that answer.

  I asked my doctor and she said as long as it's topical it's completely fine. Just don't eat and you're fine!

  I'd say no, but like PP said talk to your OB. My dermatologist prescribed me stuff that she swore was ok for me to have while pregnant and I asked my OB and she said no ma'am.
  
  Instead of chancing it wth salicylic acid, Belli has an acne treatment and moisturizer with pregnancy safe ingredients, you can find it at Ulta or online.

  Ive had terrible acne since I stopped my birth control almost a year ago. I'm currently 11 months pregnant and know that Salicylic acid is a no no and this may be a stupid question but I'm wondering if the Aveeno clear complexion moisturizer with 0.5% Salicylic acid in it is ok as a moisturizer for pregnant women.

  Um I know that's a typo but you had me rolling there.

  Hi, I'm guessing you meant weeks instead of months?
  I would not use the moisturizer. My docs told me no, and I'm okay with going a few more months without some of the skincare products I would normally choose. Better safe than sorry?

  I have always needed a cleanser with salicylic acid, and haven't been using it since I got pregnant. Of course now I have breakouts. Asked my midwife about this at my last appointment, she really didn't want me to use it. But she said use it spairingly if/when you absolutely need to, and wash it off right away. I've been using some natural face wash these past few months, and I hate it.
  
  Also, I don't think you're supposed to keep salicylic acid on your face. Benzoyl peroxide is ok to leave on. (I don't use it, so I am not sure if it's pregnancy safe or not. I would bet not.)

  @daizedoo‌ - glad you found it! I always found it on the shelf in Ulta stores (if that's close to you) so never had to pay shipping.
  
  Their moisturizer is awesome, but you have to use at about a nickel sized amount. I'm stingy and it's thin so I started out using like a pea sized amount and found it dried me out - I was going to not use if anymore until one day I accidentally put on a lot more and it was night and day difference. I guess since it doesn't have all that crap in it you need more to soak in. Little pricey but it does last and for me worth the peace of mind.
