Pregnant and confused about Skincare? Let’s simplify it.
Despite what social media says, only a few ingredients are strongly avoided in pregnancy:
🚫 Retinoids
🚫 Hydroquinone
Most topical skincare products have minimal absorption through the skin, which is why many ingredients are considered relatively safe.
Because skincare isn’t tested directly on pregnant patients, dermatologists rely on scientific data, pharmacology, and safety profiles to guide recommendations.
When in doubt, keep your routine simple, gentle, and physician-approved.
