HOW TO SAFELY FIX COMMON SKIN CONCERNS IF YOU’RE PREGNANT

It’s tough enough being pregnant and dealing with all the hormonal and physical changes this brings. You don’t need the added stress of worrying if your skincare is safe for your little one. Let us help with some quick tips on the dos and don’ts of pregnancy-safe skincare!

First: Make sure your skincare doesn’t include any pregnancy no-nos

Check the ingredients list of your regular products and medications. Stop using any that contain

– oral retinoids
– topical retinol
– hydroquinone
– benzoyl peroxide
– salicylic acid
– tretinoin or isotretinoin (both are retinoids derived from Vitamin A)

Like alcohol, sashimi and that medium-rare steak, these substances are not safe for use during pregnancy, and must be avoided.

Forest MD does not contain ANY of the above substances. Nonetheless, there are three of our products that we advise pregnant women not to use—our Nutrient Serum, Stem Cell Repair Essence and Blemish Control Essence. See our FAQ for other Forest MD products you can substitute instead.
