Pregnancy acne/bad skin

I use lactic acid 10% by the ordinary! It was recommended to me by some lady on here and it’s really helped me! I use it before bed and then put sudocrem on any big spots and now my skin is bearable! I’m now 27 weeks x

I’ve had the same. It’s just starting to calm now at 17 weeks.
I kept my skincare soooo basic. I use vitamin c cleanser 2x a day and then use the nip and fab glycolic night pads before bed. It’s helped me soooo much!
Good luck - so easy to feel alone when you have bad skin. Needs to be spoken about more as a pregnancy symptom!

I had the same and I never had acne in my life. When I was around 4/5 weeks my entiree face broke out I never saw anything like it. It went away though I’m 29 weeks now and it seems to be back to normal!

Thanks so much ladies! Really thought it would calm down after the initial few weeks but it’s not budging so may try some of your suggestions as I feel like a teenager again... and not in a good way 😂 thanks so much

Don't have any advice but wanted to let you know that I've been suffering from the same thing since falling pregnant. Can't believe how bad my skin is and feel quite down about it. Hope yours clears up soon!

I don’t have any advice wanted to see what people recommend 12 weeks now and it just doesn’t seem to be clearing up I cleanse use and sudocream it doesn’t seem to help each day a new one appears my mum even. Said she’s never seen my skin so bad 😩😩 hoping it clears now going into the 2nd tri x

Yes mine are in the same area! And I know make up doesn’t help but I’m so conscious of them silly really but I am as I’ve never suffered before! But like you say means baby is doing it’s thing and it’s worth it jusy wish they would go sooner rather then later! I don’t think Wesring a mask at work 4 days a week for 10 hours helps but least it hides them for the minute x

Ladies!!!
I thought I’d come back to you all, as I was told by someone to try camomile!
I was sceptical but bought a bottle in Superdrug in the pharmacy/medical bit for about £1.50, and for the past two nights after cleaning my face I’ve used a cotton bud to dab a little of the mixture on all my spots and I can actually say it IS working! They are a lot less red and flatter and seem to be dried down lots! I feel like I’ve finally found something that works 😍😍😍😍👏🏼

I don’t have any advice but I’ve been looking for advice as I’m currently 12 weeks. I have spots on my lower face now it’s all over my back and chest! I’ve never seen anything like it! x

Hi. I my case, I get small spots and they came and go. But they get worse if I get stressed. So, I tried being more chilled, meditation and reducing my sugar intake. As I remember at some point I used to have many sweets.😅

I’m 12 weeks now and my skin is getting steadily worse, i have always had acne, but it hasn’t been this bad since high school
I’ve tried various regimens and nothing seems to work
At this point i just feel like i have to accept it as one of the changes my body will go through in this pregnancy
It helps to have all you guys for support!

I had sever acne with my first preganacy and it never went away Dr said it’s hormones now I’m 14 weeks and I have it just as bad again although it never went away. Nothing really helps but trying to balance my hormones. Creams only work so hard.
