[@courtneycartwright4975]

ya'll do what she says and see your dermatologist for some finacea (azaleic acid). I used it during both my pregnancies and that stuff is amazing!

[@stephanieabutler]

I'm currently working with 2 schools to get sunscreen as part of the everyday hygiene for 3,4,5 yr olds!!

[@roji8783]

Ty for ur efforts. I always put on sunscreen for my 4 yr old but everyone is so lax about sun safety

[@MarieZhang1]

Personally, I actually find that azelaic acid is more effective than salicylic acid as a spot treatment. Less irritation/dryness too!

[@bbsail]

Great video I hope more pregnant women see it. For me it was a time where I developed melasma and never came back.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching

[@micadamusic3534]

Have you heard any concerns about licorice root extract in products being an issue in pregnancy? A lot of products have it now but I’m not sure how safe it is due to so many conflicting answers I’ve found!

[@nathaliatally6952]

I've always struggled with acne but I was really.hoping when pregnant I would get a break and get to experience clear & glowly skin. NOPE not my experience haha 🤣 so here I am

[@jessicadiehn6082]

Thank you for this! I’m 27 weeks pregnant and recently heard chemical sunscreens shouldn’t be used while pregnant - I have loads! So now I can use them without feeling bad 🙏🏻X

[@chocoshawty]

Omg I wish this video came out when I was pregnant, was researching literally everything!!! Thankyou so much for doing this Dr. Dray♥️

[@DrDrayzday]

💙💙

[@neferred]

She’s the truth for this!

[@maeghank.livingston3522]

I was so afraid to use anything on my skin, I ended up just using cerave facial wash, aveeno body wash, moisturizer&sunscreen; back to basics because my skin, mainly on my butt, was so sensitive. It got easily irritated, things I was using before I could no longer use. Even tried switching laundry detergents! It got especially bad during my last trimester, did at one point use the Sal3 Sulfur soap it helped a bit. I'm 15month PP&I still have little red marks on my skin that are still slowly going away. Size wise I was fine, but my skin is what was caused me the most discomfort during my pregnancy overall. At the time there was so few products listed as safe&very few videos on this with no clear indication as to why/why not they could be used; this is awesome&I'm so grateful this information is available☺

[@carnystrickland4888]

I’m not pregnant nor will I ever be because of mental health disorders but I’m still watching because I just in general need more products lol thanks doc

[@lisagiannoumis3816]

Thank you so much, my skin got so bad my last pregnancy I actually had a little minor scarring, I was afraid to use ANYTHING practically and as soon as I was done Bf’ing I got it all back under control with a lot of the products you mentioned I was misled into thinking were unsafe. The EWG is awful, they were one of the big ones that misled me. The next time I’m pregnant now I know I can probably keep things under control using much of what’s always worked for me .

[@rnoor9078]

Thank God i found this video. Thank you Dr Dray 🙏. I have pregnancy acne and was unsure about LED mask but now i know its safe i am definitely investing in the current body mask. 😀

[@carolines3953]

I’ve had rosacea/acne since I got cycles back after baby #2. I’ve been breastfeeding or pregnant since so my dermatologist said there’s not a whole lot I can do. I’ve tried Azelaic acid but it didn’t do a lot. Currently pregnant and plan to breastfeed so maybe I can fix my skin in 2024. 😂 But it’ll be five years of bad skin (never previously had skin issues). I can’t wait to take allllll the drugs to get my face back! Definitely wearing sunscreen in the meantime. Will try some of the other remedies you mention. I don’t hold out much hope since Azelaic acid didn’t help but it’s worth a try.

[@manasibiwalkar7022]

Hi Dr. Dray! Thank you for all the useful information. On another pregnancy skincare video from 4 years back on your channel, you mentioned in a pop-up slide, that topical sulfur is not advised. Not sure how to link it here but it's at 8:15 min mark in the video. Could you please clarify if it's safe or unsafe? Thank you!

[@emmamchardy1607]

Ive noticed no more p dermatitis since using azeliac acid.

[@annakepley248]

Are both the Omniluxe CLEAR and Contour safe to use during pregnancy? Probably would prefer the Omniluxe CLEAR for acne, right?

Hi Dr. Dray! How about Adult Acnomel? It cleared up my acne after a night of application but my obgyn and dermatologist just came back to me and told me the exact same thing you said that they’re not familiar with the ingredients in it, and that even if it’s topical medication, it’s best to avoid during first semester.
