Acne treatments

I used to have severe acne during Highschool and was prescribed topical medication for it (Clyndamiacin + RetinA) Been using it for years up until I found out I was pregnant. Been breaking out lately :/ Pharmacist said it was fine but I've seen research on the web how it may cause defects for the baby...  Any opinions?

Acne breakouts are common due to hormones and personally I would avoid any treatments simply on the off chance possibility it could harm something.
