Does anyone else have pregnancy acne?

Question

pregnancy acne?" /> 
I've been trying so much stuff for my face, spending so much $$ and nothing is working its all seeming to make my acne worse. 
About to try the coconut oil stuff and praying it will work because my acne is out of control right now and no im not talking about 1 or 2 pimples either. I only had 1 or 2 going threw puberty and highschool so this is really weird and strange. I havent heard of pregnancy acne before until now. Its actually quite depressing and im losing my self confidence. 
Has anyone tried ANYTHING that has worked for them? Half the stuff you cant use while pregnant so its even harder. Plus my skin is really oily right now. Any advice/help is muchly appreciated.

Answer

I had it for a few weeks. I just got a cleanser with glycol, drank a ton of water and made sure to wash pillow cases and sheets every 3 days: It cleared right up!

Answer

Mine hasn't been too bad yet but I was having bad hormonal acne in the late teens and my doctor instructed me to use dove unscented bar soap. I still use it to this day. Works great.

Answer

I started using cerave products during my pregnancy. It helped my skin normalize quite a bit, and while I still had some acne, it really helped!

Answer

I've had horrible acne! I've been using Yes to Grapefruit daily facial scrub, you can get it at most drugstores. I really like it because it's not harsh on my skin and has really helped clear up most of my acne and it smells great.

Answer

Mine is so awful! I think because it's a boy, cause I have a 4 year old daughter and I never had acne with her, I just felt beautiful lol. Honestly I just suffer through it. If I have a really bad one I use coconut oil also. It works very well to heal them faster. Hope that helps!

Answer

I don't know if you're suppose to use it during pregnancy but I haven been because it's the only thing that kept my acne at bay in high school, college and now pregnancy but I've been using the Neutragenia Orange liquid soap to wash my face with, followed by Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid toner and then Clean and Clear lotion with the purple pump. Granted, it might not be the safest but I have really bad cystic acne on my cheeks and under my eyes and it's the only thing that works for me

Answer

YES. I never had acne even through puberty I think my body was saving it all for pregnancy cause I have it everywhere. Like I'm talking pimples on my face, chest, back, shoulders, even on my arms and wrists and some on my legs it's so embarrassing. It's kind of slowed down at the end but I'm over 40 weeks now and still dealing with it 😭
Also nothing I tried worked. Dr told me because it had nothing to do with cleanliness or dirt it's hormones and the acne likely won't subside until it all evens out a few weeks or months after birth. AWESOME. 👎🏻

Answer

Yesss! Acne.org regimen is safe for pregnancy and it's working well for me/

Answer

During pregnancy #1 it was awful - I broke out on my face and back and it was so gross.  I finally went to the derm and they gave me some topical stuff that helped, but only a little. This go round my skin has been much better. I use Dr. Hauschka products. They cost a small fortune but use really high quality, natural ingredients that are supposed to be safe.

Answer

Mine got horrific in the first trimester, I got the acne line from skin medica it was pricey and come to find they say it's not "technically" safe during pregnancy but I used it from the after first trimester until I had him and I was fine. Now I'm addicted and still use it! Worked wonders
