FAQ: Acne Treatment in Pregnancy - What Matters?


Breakouts among pregnant women are common.  During pregnancy, fluctuating hormone levels cause increased acne in one out of three women. One area of particular concern is the best ingredients for acne treatment in pregnancy or acne treatment pregnancy products, as several common ingredients, such as Vitamin A and Salicylic Acid, have been linked to birth defects in published medical research. There are many considerations around selecting acne treatment in pregnancy or acne treatment pregnancy solutions.  

For example, Lactic acid is one of the safest ingredients for acne treatment in pregnancy or acne treatment pregnancy products during pregnancy, because it is found naturally within your body, and passes teratology screening cleanly. You should avoid acne products containing other ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid which research shows may be linked to birth defects.   Belli Skincare offers the best solutions for acne treatment in pregnancy and the safest acne treatment pregnancy products.

Daily facial cleansing and exfoliation with a lactic acid (AHA) product such as Belli Pregnancy's Acne Clearing Facial Wash will help keep bacteria and clogged pores to a minimum. The aesthetician at your favorite spa will be able to teach you more acne management techniques. Belli’s lactic acid-based wash is a safer, effective choice for pregnancy-related acne.  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 solution for 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.

Worsened acne during pregnancy will usually calm down after the first trimester. If it continues to increase, consult with a dermatologist.
