Since I've been pregnant I have had some acne. I haven't had acne like this since I was a teenager. I know I can't use anything with Salicylic acid in it. What over the counter products are safe for pregnant women? Thanks!

Many care providers are fine with their patients using products with just benzoyl peroxide in them. Use sparingly and short term for added safety. Always best to check with your own doctor or midwife as they may have a preference in products and ingredients.

I would use nothing without asking your health care provider.
