Hi, can i use olay cc cream while pregnant, im 25 weeks. is that true that any cream we apply goes to the skin not to blood stream??

Should be fine: But you are right, that remember we are more than just we eat, what you put on your skin(creams, deodarants, etc) are absorbed to - granted though to a much lesser extent, in general, compared to what we eat. You can always ask your OB and if you're really worried just avoid it.
