Pregnancy and skin care: checking ingredients
During pregnancy, show the full label to your gynaecologist, dermatologist or pharmacist and avoid retinoids. The basic routine: cleansing, cream and SPF 30+.
How to check a formula during pregnancy
Gather the full ingredient list, directions and warnings for the products you use. If you use AZOURANE products, start with the INCI and allergens page, then show a photo of the label to your gynaecologist, dermatologist or pharmacist.
What the AAD says to avoid
The AAD advises avoiding retinoids during pregnancy, including tretinoin, tazarotene, isotretinoin and products with retinol or adapalene.
The basic routine
Daily care: cleanse up to twice daily, moisturise for your skin type and use SPF 30 or higher. The AAD advises choosing a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or both during pregnancy, to avoid skin irritation.
