Depends: The way a body reacts to pregnancy is highly dependent on the individual. Many women who have hormonal acne that comes and goes with particular times in their cycle will notice clearing of skin during pregnancy. Other women notice a significant increase in acne during pregnancy. It's impossible to tell how your body will react unless you've been pregnant before.

FACE PREGNANT ACNE: I have noted that prenatal vitamins can sometimes be the cause of acne breakouts. Check with your obstetrician.
