While most skincare products to do not effect pregnancy, there are a few ingredients to look out for. Retinol in any form is a no no, so is salicylic acid. Benzoyl Peroxide has mixed reviews, but most conservative recommendations say do not use it. I would suggest sticking to glycolic and lactic acid products while pregnant and breastfeeding. But be careful, these ingredients tend to be blended in with other alpha-hydroxy acids for efficacy. I would recommend stopping the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and the NeoCutis Lumiere Bio-Resorative Eye Cream with PSP as they contain some of these ingredients.

As with any product, please consult your physician for safety during pregnancy.
