I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have been using my usual skincare products.
They are over the counter and geared towards acne so have salicylic acid.
My doctor said to send a list of the ingredients which I did and she’s responded to say there’s evidence that they’re safe in pregnancy so to stop using to be on the safe side.
But as mentioned I’ve been using them this whole time. Should I be concerned?
Thanks all

the only thing I would stay away from is retinol because it is vitamin A. Everything else I would carry on with if you feel comfortable to do so. They will never test things like this on pregnant women but that doesn’t mean they are harmful. Same way most drugs they will give us during pregnancy have never been tested on pregnant women.
