Since falling pregnant my skin has been the worst it’s ever been. I used to use retinoid which is the only thing that seems to work for my skin and I would barely get a single spot but now my skin is red, sore, spotty and dry.
Any tips? Seems like you’re not allowed to use anything whilst pregnant!

Bless you! I got bad rosacea in my pregnancy I didn’t use anything till now and I’m breastfeeding. I’m using azalaiec acid and it’s prescribed. Much more natural. Ring your gp and let them know I’m sure they can prescribe something that can help! Xx

Ive found using the ordinary lactic acid every night really helped mine. I used heliocare SPF 50 in the day though to make sure I don't burn as I do find I'm super sensitive to the sun.

I actually posted something in a different group about which stuff helped me so much.
Hyaluronic Acid serum from The Ordinary
Natural Factors+ HA moisturiser from The Ordinary and
Squalene cleanser from The Ordinary!!
i will never stop using this stuff now. I can’t recommend it enough x

Acnecide gel is safe in pregnancy, start by applying a little once daily and build up to more and twice daily. And a note on products like this, they bleach fabrics and even eyebrows! So use an old towel after applying and plain white pillowcases at night.
Dots for spots are great and lymphatic massage to help drainage.
I have had acne since I was 8 years old and have had to adjust my skincare routine as it has got worse in pregnancy and you are restricted with product usage. Indie Lee do a good range too.

I have the same problem. Everything I did use I can’t, and everything I look up to use it says they haven’t done any testing.
