Dark spot corrector from poactive, safe to use while 6 months pregnant? ingredients: octyldodecanol, cyclopentasiloxane, hexylene glycol, glycolic acid..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why take the chance?: My standard advice for all pregnant women is take or apply medicines only when necessary - and then only if your obstetrician okays it. Dark spots are a cosmetic issue; why not wait until you have the baby - at which time the dark spots may very well fade on their own, as they often do.
