again? I've tried benzoyl peroxide and sulfur. I don't want to go out in public it's getting so bad. Please help!I am 22 weeks pregnant and have the worse acne. Can someone please tell me what I can do to get my skin clear?
Ahhh, the hormones. Since your skin is super sensitive at this stage, I would stick to something more soothing, like salicytic acid (sp). Buy a line of products that are hypo-allergetic. Aveeno has a line of ';calming'; soap, moisturizer, etc. that worked great for me. Neutragena has a clear ointment with the sal. acid that reduces redness and clears pores.





A lot of what I thought was acne was a reaction to the treatments I was using. So go easy on your sensitve pregnant skin. Even products you used to use can be too harsh now. The dermatologist recommended the products I mentioned. Also, be sure to leave your blemishes alone because this acne is temporary, but scarring is permanent.

Water, water, water! keep yourself very well hydrated. Most of the skin issues I had/have are caused or worsened by being mildly dehydrated. I have to wash a couple times a day, moisturize after every wash, and exfoliate like twice a week to keep my face from feeling like a toad's back. I like neutrogena's foaming face wash which contains a make up remover, and oil of olay regenerist moisturizer. I can't recall the name of the scrub I use at the moment, but it's one of those that feels like lotion filled with really fine sand. Some kind of microdermabrasion stuff, I think.
you should check with your obgyn before using anything medical on your face. even stuff you use on your face is asorbed into your body. my acne is a little better since the beggining of my pregnancy but it still sucks. i'm just dealing with it not using anything. sorry i don't have ideas. its really just hormones so i don't know if theres much to do
I got zits when I was pregnant too. I even got them on my legs. All I did for my face was to put egg whites on them and let it get really dried out. Than I would rinse and put on moisturizer (the one with the least chemical... like a cocoa cream or vitamin E lotion). It didn't make it go away, but it did help.
I'm 21 weeks and having acne problems also! LOL.





I bought this Clean%26amp;Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub, but surprisingly its working on more than just the blackheads.


I got it at Rite-Aid for like $5.
Make an appt. for a dermatologist. I had a rash that came with acne that could only be cleared up with meds. If not try a neutrogena bar.
no benzoyle peroxide or sulfur while pregnant! u cant use that.. the only thing u can use it gentle washes like cetaphil, and warm compresses, light moisturizers and oil free makeup might help.. hope it helps
i used proactive the with my first pregnancy and it worked great!
Good question im having the same trouble =[ 19w4d
