Pregnancy acne. What do you use?

Hi all! I am now 9 weeks and my acne is still going strong. Lots of white heads, and cysts.

What type of over the counter products do you use? Face wash, spot treatments, etc.

    Witch Hazel.  Worked like a miracle overnight!  Haven't had it get out of control since I started using it a few weeks ago.  I was worried about safety but apparently all the risk is to people who drink it as a tonic.  My doc said completely safe to use once a day.

    Murad. They have a fast spot acne fix cream and I love it. My chin was gross yesterday (lots of little pimples) and they are gone this morning. This could be because I feel asleep without washing my face Saturday night too. Generally whatever pops up after that goes away pretty quickly.

    I use the neutragena pink face wash 2x daily, tea tree oil as a spot treatment and coconut oil as a nightly moisturizer. I've been meaning to add witch hazel to my repertoire.

    Washing my face with baking soda (1/2 tsp) and honey (1tsp) followed with a toner of diluted acv has really helped get rid of all my zits ...black red and white!

    Yes, tea tree oil is great as a spot treatment

    I wash with Cetaphil- super gentle. Then I use a cream from A brand called Arithmetic- ordered online. Not too harsh like some intended for ance meds for teenagers! This is definitely for adult skin, and has been working pretty well for me!

    I'll have to try tea tree oil.  I read that salicylic acid and peroxide were not good for baby, so I had to cut those out of my routine.

    Yeah, the tea tree oil really works for me. I started with a berts bees roll on one. Now I just refill the roller with straight tea tree oil and a little grape seed oil.

    My skin is a mess. I bought be belli face wash and spot treatment which I used last pregnancy and they seem useless. Some of your posts reminded me though I have the burts bees tea tree and I need to give that another shot.
