Acne and pregnancy

I just found out I am pregnant- I have pretty bad acne. I have read mixed reviews on salicylic acid. I know retinoids are out of the question. I was using a salicylic acid toner to control breakouts. My face has went crazy since I found out I’m pregnant. I’ve read 2 percent or less is not harmful to the baby, but then again I have read to avoid it altogether. I go to my first OB app in about a week and a half. I’m definitely going to talk to him about this - but I just wanted to gather some info here as well!
