How we flag ingredientsIs Nu Skin Clear Action Night Treatment safe to use during pregnancy?
Jouaxia rates Nu Skin Clear Action Night Treatment "Avoid" for pregnancy because it contains Retinol. Retinoid (vitamin A derivative): Topical retinoids are generally recommended to be avoided in pregnancy; oral retinoids are known to cause birth defects (MotherToBaby/ACOG, Mayo Clinic). Salicylic Acid. Salicylic acid / BHA: ACOG says over-the-counter salicylic acid products may be used if needed, but absorption rises with frequent use or large areas; avoid high-strength peels (MotherToBaby/ACOG, Bozzo et al. 2011). This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.

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.
- Acne treatment (Salicylic Acid): Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene treat acne well, but for children under 12 it's best to check with a doctor first, and to start gently.
- Fragrance or essential oils (Parfum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Citronellol, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Geraniol): 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.
Helps with acne: Salicylic Acid.
