Does anyone know if Pro-activ acne system is safe during preg?

I know some acne medications are unsafe for baby during pregnancy. Does anyone know about the pro-activ solution? Thanks

I used it for my first and she was fine, I'm using it now and I'm 18 weeks and seem fine.  The bottles say check with your Dr. so you might want to mention it.  But I've had no problems and no acne either :-)

I do know that the use of most topical acne treatments are not allowed during pregnancy due to their high levels of retinol and Vitamin A. Definitely ask your doctor before using anything topical for acne.

My doctor had a fit when he found out I was just using oxy on my face in the mornings...He said nothing but Tylenol. I know retna A (spell?) is bad to use when pregnant my girlfriend had to stop using it.

I just live with the pimples.  Face wash only here !

ProActiv has no Retin-A in it.  From all that I've read it is perfectly safe during pregnancy.  The gel that you leave on after you wash your face is a benzoyl peroxide which is one of the few "safe" topical acne treatments during pregnancy.
