FAQ: Acne Help During Pregnancy - Where to Find It?


Many expectant mothers wonder where to find acne help during pregnancy.  Worsened acne will usually calm down after the first trimester. If acne continues to increase, consult with a dermatologist on acne help during pregnancy.

When considering acne help during pregnancy, expectant mothers should understand that not all products are equal. Treatments such as chemical peels come in several varieties and contain one or more keratolytics—chemicals that soften the epidermis, unclog pores, and remove layers of dead skin cells. Many of the commonly available keratolytics (such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid) have questionable links to birth defects in published medical studies.

When seeking acne help during pregnancy, products containing lactic acid are very effective. Lactic acid, however, is a highly effective keratolytic that passes through teratology screening cleanly. It also happens to be less irritating to the skin than chemical peels.  Lactic acid is one of the safest acne ingredients during pregnancy because it is found naturally within your body, and passes teratology screening cleanly. When seeking acne help during pregnancy, you should avoid products containing other ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid which research shows may be linked to birth defects.

Lactic acid is the featured ingredient in Belli Pregnancy’s Acne Clearing Facial Wash.

Belli Pregnancy’s  Acne Clearing Facial Wash is an exfoliating wash; rich in powerful acne-ridding ingredients that leaves skin clear and refined, without over-drying. The safest acne help during pregnancy, Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash uses hydroxyacid to lift away dirt, oil and bacteria, promoting clean and blemish-free skin. Most acne treatments are contra-indicated during pregnancy because of adverse effects to baby. Belli’s breakthrough formulation is the first to safely address pregnancy-related acne using lactic acid – an ingredient that is naturally found in the body.

This versatile treatment can be used as a daily facial cleanser or can be left on the face for 5 minutes for an intensive acne facial mask.
