Pregnancy acne?!!!!

Question

I’ve never had acne, other than the occasional zit before my period. Now my face and chest and back are covered! 
I know I’m not supposed to use products with salicylic acid. What do you use to make it better?! I’m miserable 🥵

Answer

Nothing I tried helped. I had to stop wearing makeup because my skin couldn’t handle it

Answer

There’s a brand called Amareta that is organic and natural and actually meant to calm hormonal skin. I love the Brightening cleanser, clarifying serum (seriously amazing for acne), and the balancing toner. When used together they’re gentle, but extremely effective. If you don’t want to spend too much money up front, just buy the clarifying serum (The green bottle) and get yourself a cheap witch hazel toner then mix it with a couple of drops of frankincense oil. You can also try the Belli acne face wash. Belli also makes a spot treatment that worked well for me and it’s meant for pregnancy skin so it doesn’t have salicylic acid or any other ingredients that are dangerous for pregnancy. There’s also another brand called Earths Care (I buy it on Amazon) that makes a pregnancy safe spot treatment that uses 10% sulfur.

Answer

My OB said as long as the salacytic acid was over the counter you could use it. Thats what I've been doing, as well as Apple cider vinegar toner, and Mario badescu buffering Lotion.

Answer

Yup, happened to me too. My doc told me she could give me a prescription. I told her I didn’t want one. She also suggested neutrogena body wash. I used the body wash but honestly didn’t see much difference.
