I'm having a boy and barely had any acne in the beginning, but the past couple months I've REALLY broken out! My doctor prescribed me an acne cream/gel and it works wonders! I also use this expensive face wash I got as a grift that's amazing too. I just have no idea what the name of it is

My skin actually cleared up quite nicely while being pregnant with my baby girl. I use Clean & Clear Facial Cleanser. It has Salayctic acid in it and has worked wonders. Benzoyl Perozide burned be so bad that I cried!

I use sensitive skin products. Witch hazel for toner. Nothing with salicylic acid. I also lay out for a good 20 minutes to get some vitamin d. Helps clear up acne.

Thanks guys! My face was fine the whole first four months. Well I'm give months now, and it's like I just woke up and it's every where on my temples, chin, and cheeks! And my face dried up as well overnight it went from normal to desert dry! One things for certain she'll be beautiful for sure cause I ain't hahaha

I use the clarisonic with a cleanser from philosophy. It's a cleanser that's very gentle and okay for pregnant people to use. For moisturizer, I use the aloe vera cream from GNC. It keeps my face from getting oily. It was recommended by the people working there and my Dr. ok'ed it.

Sea salt, lemon juice and coconut oil scrub. I make a homemade face scrub and it is the only thing that keeps acne away fro me and my boyfriend.

My dr says your not supposed to use benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid it's bad for you but that's what we need to fight acne...I have been battling cystic acne my whole pregnancy and it's not pretty my little girl has stolen all my beauty...I use aveeno foam wash because it only has a 0.5 salicylic in it and I also put aloe Vera on my face. Hope that helps.
