Ive been using a few clinique things in my skincare for years and now that im pregnant im scared about the ingredients. do i need to stop them or are they fine to continue? anyone checked with their doc about this?
Brand doesnt matter as much as what's inside. Skip retinol, retinoids and strong salicylic acid products. Cleansers, moisturisers and most basics are fine. I just read the labels and dropped the actives during pregnancy, kept the rest.
Most regular skincare including brands like Clinique is fine, the thing to watch is the ingredient list, not the brand. Avoid high strength retinoids and salicylic acid. I checked my products against a pregnancy safe list and asked my derm. Better to confirm than assume.
Yaar I used most of my regular stuff, just actually stopped my retinol serum and the strong acids. Moisturiser, sunscreen, cleanser all continued fine. Just flip the bottle and check the ingredients, thats the trick.
