Anyone have a good cleanser and moisturizer that you love, that's safe to use during pregnancy? Ive stopped using my normal products until after baby is born, and my skin is suffering :(

    Try to stay away from salicylic acid and retinal/retinoids and you're generally ok.  My skin is a mess right now so I'm using Peter Thomas Roth 3% glycolic acid face wash with CeraVe night cream at night or Josie Maran argan oil moisturizer SPF 47 in the day.

    I switched to the Belli SkinCare line after I found out I was pregnant.  It's helping with the acne!  I still use some of my Skin 302 products that my esthetician told me was safe to use during pregnancy.

    I use the same cleanser/moisturizer as always. My OB said as long as you don't eat it, you're fine. 

    This is does not apply to mega-strength skincare like Proactiv.

    I just started using the Belli SkinCare line.  I usually use prescription acne medication and of course I go off of it when I'm pregnant. I had horrible, horrible acne when I was pregnant with DS.  I'm hoping not to go back to that.

    While lurking on another BMB, I saw ppl suggesting "Coal Face" by Lush Cosmetics so I gave it a try. It has worked wonders on my face. I was starting to look like a teenager again.

    I love the vitamin E line by the body shop. It is now also sold at Ulta.

    I use Paula's Choice everything.  They even have a "Pregnancy and Skincare" section on their website to help you figure out which products to use.  I didn't have to change any of the products I was using pre-pregnancy.  Good luck!

    This is funny because I thought it smells bad.  Pregnant nose problems!

    I use several different Rodan&Fields products and really like them. I had to switch some things up to avoid retinol, but that's been fine.

    My OB is pretty relaxed about skin care stuff. I asked about my self-tanner that has vitamin A in it (in addition to the self-tanner ingredients), and she said no problem.

    I think I will bite the bullet and try Belli. My RE is very adamant about pregnancy safe ingredients.

    I had the worst acne ever with with my first, I felt like a mutant. Oddly enough, I ran out of face wash AND body soap in the same week and didn't  get around to buying more so I just used dove bar soap which I usually only used as hand soap and it was my miracle. NEVER would have even tried it had I not been forced to, but soon glad I did.

    After DD my acne didn't  go away for 3 damn years until I became pregnant with DS, then my face cleared up all on it's  own and I haven't  had an issue since, knock on wood!

    No, he just recommended the Belli brand. It is just more expensive than I'm used to paying lol
