Is it safe to use whitening face products while im pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: A lot of skin whitening products contain hydroquinone which is absorbed rapidly by the skin. There simply aren't enough tests to know if this is a safe topical treatment in pregnancy. Therefore, i would recommend avoiding it. Definitely any product with retin or retinoid should be avoided as these have been shown to cause birth defects, even when used on the skin.
