Pregnancy glow is great but the pigmentation can be annoying! I asked my doctor about kojic acid, and she told me to avoid it and stick to a simple, mild cleanser. My skin cleared up beautifully on its own after my normal delivery, so don't stress about it too much right now.
I am in my 20th week and my face has suddenly got so much pigmentation, so I was also thinking of buying a kojic acid soap. But I am too scared to try any new products right now. Has anyone else used it safely, or is it better to avoid?
I've been dealing with bad breakouts and dark spots during my pregnancy too. Is kojic acid actually safe, or should we stick to natural things like besan and curd packs? I'm so confused about which skincare products are allowed.
I would highly advise against using any active acid soaps like kojic acid without asking your doctor first. Some skincare ingredients can absorb into the skin and might not be safe for the baby. It is always best to let your gynac review the ingredients.
Skincare can get so expensive, and honestly, during pregnancy, hormonal changes cause pigmentation anyway which mostly fades after delivery. I saved my money for the expensive anomaly scan and hospital charges, and just used basic, cheap baby soap instead. It's safe and budget-friendly.
