^be careful on that witch hazel can cause excessive drying though, you have to have the right type of skin for that

Mine went away late in the 2nd trimester. Use acne wash and hang in there!

Using face/acne wash is not going to harm your baby, just stay away from sasylic acid.  Tons of women use face wash through pregnancy it's not bad.
