Acne and breakouts

Acne treatments take time. It can be several weeks to a few months before you see a difference, so stick with one rather than switching.

Ingredients that help

  • Salicylic acid
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Adapalene, a retinoid sold without a prescription from age 12

What dermatologists recommend

  • Wash gently, up to twice a day and after sweating, using your fingertips.
  • Use gentle, alcohol-free products, and skip astringents, toners, and scrubs, which can dry and irritate skin.
  • Don't pick or pop pimples.
  • Use a non-comedogenic, broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
  • See a dermatologist if acne hasn't improved after a few months of over-the-counter treatment.

Essential oil often flagged in pregnancy: Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil. NHS maternity guidance says not to use clary sage before 37 weeks, and European regulators say not to use rosemary oil medicines in pregnancy. That advice isn't about the small amounts in skincare, and evidence of harm is limited.

Sensitive skin: fragrance, essential oils, niacinamide Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
  • essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken skin.
  • niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.

Salicylic acid / BHA: Betaine Salicylate, Salicylic Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. 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).

Essential oil often flagged in pregnancy: Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Extract. NHS maternity guidance says not to use clary sage before 37 weeks, and European regulators say not to use rosemary oil medicines in pregnancy. That advice isn't about the small amounts in skincare, and evidence of harm is limited.
