I have been using a face serum with aha for my acne since before and now im 7 weeks. Suddenly worried if i should stop it. Anyone checked with their doc about these skincare acids during pregnancy?
I read up a lot on pregnancy safe skincare. Mild AHA is generally fine but retinoids are the ones to strictly avoid. I just kept my routine basic to be safe, no need for actives during these months.
I kept it really simple, just cleansing and moisturizing during pregnancy. Skipped all the fancy actives honestly. If you have a specific skin issue, better to ask a doctor than guess.
AHAs in low amounts in face washes are usually considered okay, but it's best to keep skincare simple in pregnancy. I switched to gentle products and a basic moisturizer. For anything strong, I'd run it by a dermat or your gynac.
