If you haven't had acne before, you probably just need to wait for your hormones to balance. Being so early in your pregnancy your hormones are at their highest and are crazy. If you do use something make sure it does not contain salicylic acid. Using that can cause birth defects.

I haven't had any acne at all, but try Clean & Clear foaming face wash. It has an antibacterial ingredient (not salicylic acid) that gets rid of bacteria. Also, Dr. Lin's Hydrating Gel is good to use instead of fame cream, and might soothe painful acne. I'm not sure, since I haven't had any breakouts,these are products I've just always used daily that might be helpful.
