Can i use retinol while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retinol: The literature says it's safe to use retinol while breastfeeding. In fact, it's been given class a status, meaning no risk has ever been determined in human studies. But it's always safe to consult your obstetrician before using it.
