Is it safe to take skin whitening products while im pregnant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's not: Retinoids and hydroquinone creams that are used most commonly for lightening darker areas of skin are contraindicated in pregnancy. Use a sunscreen daily to protect skin and you can return to these meds after you are done breastfeeding.
