Oily skin and shine
Oily skin still needs gentle care: harsh washing and skipping moisturizer can backfire.
Ingredients that help
- Salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids can reduce oiliness, but can be harsh: cut back if your skin gets irritated
- Niacinamide, zinc, and clays are also widely used to control shine
What dermatologists recommend
- Wash up to twice a day and after sweating with a gentle foaming cleanser, without scrubbing.
- Choose products labeled oil-free and non-comedogenic, including makeup.
- Still moisturize, ideally with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher moisturizer.
- Blot oil by pressing blotting paper on your face, rather than rubbing.

Salicylic acid / BHA: 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).
Chemical sunscreen filter with limited pregnancy data: Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. Not known to harm a pregnancy but not well studied, and absorbed into the bloodstream in FDA studies; mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) stay on the skin and are a lower-absorption choice (MotherToBaby, Matta et al. 2020).
