help!!

I keep forgetting to ask my doctor but is it safe to use salicylic acid moisturizer? It is 0.5 % I have had really bad pimples so I started using this at night for like a month now. I'm almost 21 weeks pregnant. I just wanna make sure it isn't harming the baby

It's debatable, some websites/doctors will say not safe, others will. I go the natural route when possible though.
