A member asked:

What is a safe acne cleanser to use during pregnancy that won't hurt my unborn baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Topical washes: Topical washes like those containing hydrogen peroxide are safe. Basically want to avoid anything with Retin-A or trentoin. Most of the topical washes are all safe. Best of luck with pregnancy.
