Pregnancy acne

Has anyone suffered with acne throughout pregnancy? I had it as a teenager and was able to get rid of it in my early twenties. Now I’m pregnant it’s come back with a vengeance all over my face, neck and chest. I’m 27 weeks and no sign of it clearing up. Anyone have any good treatments that worked for them? (most of the things that used to work I can’t take now obviously)

I broke out terribly and are still suffering with it - the la Roche Posay skin care and treatments worked a dream. I’ve also found using the bare minimum as well helps so much, so less is definitely more x

Acne was my first symptom, I actually changed my cleanser before I found out I was pregnant as thought it had stopped working. My face and neck are awful and I’m only 6 weeks. Looking for products too 🙏🏼

I had this, my skincare routine now consists of watching what I eat and drink ( look up hot foods, foods that make your blood pressure slightly raised like nuts etc) and used those baby sanitising sprays on my face before, hyaluronic serum (best one is e45), and my normal moisturiser.

I had pregnancy acne in my 3rd trimester on my fave, chest, back and shoulder. I couldn’t do anything to get rid of it / stop it during pregnancy but it stopped after I gave birth x

Yes and after for about 6 months 😭

I use witch Hazel that has helped keep my acne at bay especially while pregnant as can’t use much else
