I was using melaglow cream for my dark spots before i found out i was pregnant. Now im 9 weeks and not sure if i should continue using it on my face. Anyone know if its fine or better to stop? planning to ask my gynac too.
Dont worry about the pigmentation, it's so common and usually goes after baby comes. I'd avoid that cream for now and just ask your doctor what's safe. Sunscreen and being gentle with your skin is enough meanwhile.
I always scan ingredients now, some lightening creams have retinoids or hydroquinone which are usually a no in pregnancy. Safest is to ask your doctor with the tube in hand. For pigmentation I just used sunscreen and a gentle moisturiser.
Skin lightening creams like that often have ingredients not advised in pregnancy, so I would not use it without asking. Please show the product to your gynac or a skin doctor before using. Pregnancy pigmentation usually fades on its own anyway.
I'd pause that kind of cream during pregnancy. Many fairness creams have stuff you should avoid now. The dark patches from pregnancy mostly fade after delivery. Check with a dermatologist if you really want to use something.
