My acne has flared up badly in this pregnancy and i have an old face wash with benzoyl peroxide. Im 18 weeks. Scared to use anything now without checking, anyone aware?
This is a great question! I'm planning pregnancy myself, and I've been researching all my skincare products. From what I've read and heard from friends, benzoyl peroxide is usually on the 'avoid' list. I'm going to ask my gynac specifically when I have my preconception check.
After my C-section, I was extra cautious about everything. During pregnancy, my doctor also said to stay away from benzoyl peroxide. It's just a common precaution for pregnant women, as some ingredients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Try to find pregnancy-safe alternatives for acne if you have it.
Oh, I remember how frustrating pregnancy skin issues could be, on top of morning sickness! My doctor said to avoid benzoyl peroxide completely to be on the safer side. It's just not worth the risk, even if some say low concentrations are okay. Better to use gentle cleansers and moisturisers.
Oh, the pregnancy glow they talk about? Mine was more like a pregnancy acne disaster! I was eyeing all my old skincare. But nope, my doc gave benzoyl peroxide a big thumbs down. Turns out, a 'natural glow' just means avoiding harsh chemicals and embracing the breakouts. Fun times!
Listen, beta, when you're pregnant, it's always best to be extra careful with anything you apply on your skin as it can get absorbed. Benzoyl peroxide is generally advised against by many doctors. Please confirm with your own gynac before using anything, okay? Your baby's safety is most important.
Na beta, benzoyl peroxide nahi use karna chahiye pregnancy mein. Mera gynac ne saaf mana kiya tha. Woh bolte hain ki koi bhi chemical wali cheez jo skin pe lagate ho, usko avoid karna chahiye. Kya pata kitna absorb ho jaye. Accha hai ki natural face washes use karo.
Heehee, pregnancy skin can be wild sometimes! 😂 But usually, benzoyl peroxide is a no-no. My doctor said to stick to super gentle stuff. Maybe try a nice face mask with multani mitti instead? Always best to check with your gynac though, they know best! ✨
Hey! I delivered just a few months back. My gynac strictly told me to avoid benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid during pregnancy. She said it's better to be safe. For acne, she suggested gentler alternatives like azelaic acid or just sticking to a very basic skincare routine.
Generally, benzoyl peroxide is not recommended during pregnancy. While topical absorption is usually low, some doctors advise against it to avoid any potential, though unproven, risks. It's always best to discuss your specific skincare needs and products with your treating obstetrician for tailored advice.
Beta, humare yahan toh kehte hain pregnancy mein sab kuch natural hi use karo. Ye sab chemical wali cheezein doctor se puche bina mat lagao. Apni gynac ko ek baar phone karke pooch lo, woh hi sahi batayenge.
