I use differin (adapalene) & hydrocortisone cream for acne. i stop using it the day after i had sex on my fertilised day. is it no effect if i get pregnant?

Both are category C: With pregnancy, meaning don't use them unless benefit clearly outweighs risk, differin (adapalene) in particular is a retenoid, when taken orally is completely contraindicated with pregnancy, please check with your doctor/obstetrician all medicines you're on or plan to use while pregnant, goodluck
