Is Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Night Treatment safe to use during pregnancy?

Jouaxia rates Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Night Treatment "Avoid" for pregnancy because it contains Retinol.

This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.

Does Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Night Treatment contain fragrance or other common allergens?

Yes. Nu Skin Clear Action Acne Medication Night Treatment contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. This doesn't affect its pregnancy rating, and most people use these ingredients without a problem; if your skin is sensitive or you've reacted to one before, patch-test it first or look for an alternative.

Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Not for kids

  • Retinoid (vitamin A) (Retinol): An anti-aging and acne active children's skin doesn't need; dermatologists see red, itchy rashes in kids who use retinoids, and they make skin more sensitive to the sun.
  • Fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance (Parfum)): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Use with care

  • Anti-aging retinoid (Retinol): Teen skin doesn't need anti-aging retinol, and it can irritate and make skin more sensitive to the sun. For pimples, adapalene (sold over the counter from age 12) is the retinoid dermatologists recommend.
