I have no intention of becoming pregnant, but I'm in full support of more pregnancy related videos. There's a lot of health related nonsense on YT that preys on people genuinely seeking help. It's up to us in the medical and scientific communities to speak up and help dispel false claims and fear-based marketing. Thanks for putting yourself out there and providing solid dermatological information (and veg based recipes). Have a great weekend!
There are a few factors in treating acne naturally. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Pats Remedy Plan (google it if you're interested) it's the best blueprint that I've seen. look at all the extraordinary information .
Yes I would love a video on recommended products/skin care routine for pregnancy! Particularly interested in product recommendations for pregnant women trying to deal with both acne and melasma when sunscreen seems to drive acne breakouts.
Thank you for warning us about "natural" products and their false claims. I switched to all natural products as soon as I found out I got pregnant in an attempt to protect my baby.. and all of a sudden I developed dermatitis on my face (never had this before). I believe it was due to this new regime. 😔 My derm doctor just asked me to stop using them and keep everything to a minimum to allow my skin to heal itself. Great advice from you!
Another wonderful video! My husband and I were going to try in a few months for a baby and I suffer from acne so that’s a huge fear of mine that my acne will be bad during pregnancy and not have a lot of safe options. Great video! More like this would be great. It’s nice to have some knowledge prior to going to a physician so you can have a meaningful conversation with them about treatment.
Thank you for doing this video! I'm pregnant and I felt lost because I found conflicting information about the safety of BHA and AHAs. I'm glad I found your video because obviously, you are a more trustworthy source than skincare/beauty editor websites. I wish I could afford a trip to the dermatologist but I've recently had several unexpected expenses that threw my budget out of whack. I'm currently dealing with acne so I will discontinue the use of salicylic acid and will look into some of the safe options you mentioned. Also, thank you for mentioning that sulphur might not be safe; I've seen this ingredient recommended on pregnancy skin care websites and videos. Thanks again for all the helpful information!
Thank you thank you for this video! I’m trying to conceive and was using differin gel, chemical exfoliants and dandruff shampoo which contains salicylic acid. Didn’t know they were harmful. Excellent video as always.
Thank you so much for this video! My daughter just found out she is pregnant and she uses daily a salicylic acid face wash so she will stopping it immediately until her doctors appointment!
THANK YOU Dr. Dray for this video! I know I’ve left many comments asking about skincare during pregnancy because of all the inconclusive data I’ve found, particularly reguarding acne. I am 16 weeks with my second baby and my acne was exasperated during the early weeks when hormones were heightened, currently mostly clear at the low time around this gestation. I never dealt with acne during the first pregnancy because I didn’t even develop acne until after my daughter’s birth and breastfeeding. So this time, I had no idea how to address the acne. It doesn’t help when the practitioners I talked to had no clue about skincare ingredients, particularly acne treatments, and would just tell me I would be fine using what I had so long as it wasn’t vitamin A.... this is very helpful! Thanks for sharing and leveling the inconclusive data as mich as possible! Thanks to your videos here and recommendations for body moisturizers, my body skin looks and feels great! Great info about botanical products/ingredients concerningthe immune system. Many women think this isnthe tokento go ALL natural and it always seems to end up causing problems at least for most people I know doing it.
Pediatric dermatology faq might be fun, too! I know there are a lot of interesting things that happen in a newborns skin, and quite a few gimmicky products that I assume should be avoided. Cereve has a new baby care line, if you could speak on something like that, as well :)
Yes all around! I would love to watch anything else you have to share about pregnancy and skin. How far in advance of pregnancy should the contraindicated ingredients in skincare be stopped?
no ones knows for sure...if anything, since they will be stopped during, if they are for a skin disease like acne or melasma, that is likely to flare during pregnancy, maybe worth visiting derm now and discuss stopping in advance so as to transition to safer things and give those things time to start working
Omgosh! I had no idea skincare mattered while pregnant! I’m 6 weeks and found out I was pregnant last week. I’ve been using salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide and retinal everyday!!! I’m scared, I’m stopping right now!
Please, have a look at most things you apply to your body including shampoo. I recently found out my shampoo is not allowed in pregnancy. My personal approach is put nothing on your body (including makeup).
Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea that I shouldn’t be using salicylic acid. I’ve been using it this pregnancy and I am 18 weeks. I will definitely be stopping those salicylic acid products and switching it up for something else.
I really appreciate the pregnancy related videos. So many women and people are pregnant and I feel that we are so underrepresented. It’s hard to find good info.
Thank you for this video. I am currently TTC and while I know you frown upon unnecessary ingredients in skincare products, I was hoping you could clarify a few ingredients for me concerning safety for pregnancy. 1. Glycolic acid 2. Licorice root extract 3. Radish root ferment filtrate 4. Bergamot oil 5. Rosewood extract 6. Feverfew extract Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a great day.
Please do a video on products you would suggest using during pregnancy! I deal with severe cystic acne and am on a routine of Cerve SA face wash, Differin Benzoyl Peroxide Wash and topical Tretinoin. I'm thinking of getting pregnant in about a year so I would love to know how to switch to my routine without losing the benefits of acne control! :(
Hello Dr. Dray, with regard to sunscreens, I have the following and have been using in rotation. 1 Krave Beet the Sun 2 Colorescience Mineral Sunscreen 3 Purito Unscented sunscreen Which one do you recommend for pregnancy use? Thanks a lot.
Hi Dr Dray, this is very informative and helpful! Can you please make an update video for pregnancy skincare or your favorite products for this category? Thank you!
Yes...skin care routine for acne during pregnancy would be so helpful. I have acne and trying for pregnancy but dreading to have to stop BP and salicylic acid during that time.
Thank you so much Dr. Dray! Very informative! My skin has been soo dry and itchy since i got pregnant and I’ve always had oily skin. This explains so much!
Pregnancy does wonders for my skin, and it’s horrendous in between pregnancies (hormonal acne, jawline and chin acne), so my derm is recommending tretnoin and spiro to target that AFTER this pregnancy (my third and final pregnancy) is over. I’ve been using glycolic acid and azelaic acid as actives and tons of moisturizing. I do get flair ups in my psoriasis though during pregnancy which sucks because all of the treatments that have been effective for me are not recommended for use during pregnancy... ugh! Trying a new one that is safe, my derm said a lot of his patients have luck with it so hopefully I will too. Thanks for all of the info Dr Dray!
I’m not pregnant yet, but I want to become a mama in the near future when I get married. Thanks for the contact! You’re so much for your mongering out there.
I’m still breastfeeding, and the doctor said she can’t help me until I stop breastfeeding. My daughter is 14 months, and all I wear is sunscreen and I wash my face at night and use the moisturizers you recommend. Everyone tells me it’s jut the hormones from breastfeeding, but it’s frustrating to not have anything to help the cystic acne around my chin.
Thank you so much! Finally valid info about pregnancy skincare! So refreshing to have a youtuber who knows what she's talking about, healthwise. EBM rulz 🙋🙋 Is there data tegarding safety of azaleic and lactic acid? why are they considered safe?
based on transcutaneous absorption and the fact that yeast that live on our skin already are making azelaic acid (malessezia makes it)...so assumed to be and no adverse reports
Thank you!! This makes a lot of sense. I would love a video on recommended products during pregnancy & lactation. Also, I was glad to see in the comments that topical glycolic acid is not a concern during pregnancy. Is there a video in which you talk about it's advantages?
What sunscreen do you recommend that's safe during pregnancy and can be found in Europe? Also, is there any drugstore deodorant that's safe to use by pregnant women? I have a REALLY had time finding these 2 types of products. Thanks!
Hi Dr. Dray! Thank you for this video!I was reading a lot about glycolic acid and wasn't sure if it safe! recently I bought night cream and day serum for large pores which include it and I was panicking that it might harm my baby!thank you again!
👍🏻Thanks for doing this video!! Loved hearing your honest opinion on what products to use and avoid. Yes, I like your ideas for future pregnancy videos💕💕💕
Great video. One question about the La Roche Posay tinted sunscreen - I see the current version of this sunscreen contains salicylate. Would you consider the tinted version unsafe for pregnancy?
Is pha safe during pregnancy? Also what concentration of azelic acid is safe to use (10, 15%)? Is antiperspirant containing Aluminium safe to use during preg?
It's interesting how many MDs on YT add the disclaimer we should talk to our doctors. I did (my derm). She just said no retinols, leaving ALL of the other information OUT that you're sharing. Doctors don't provide the information you're sharing in one on one appointments. It's up to us as the patients to find it ourselves.
Those videos sound great! Also, would tea tree oil in a face wash be considered a safe acne-fighting alternative during pregnancy? Provided that you're skin isn't reacting to it poorly? I've read that tea tree oil has been demonstrated to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide, it just doesn't work as fast.
tea tree oil is not ideal, no.... contact dermatitis is a major problem with tea tree oil (both allergic and irritant contact) and during pregnancy this is more likely
Say!! Listen!! Thank you so much for a very very important video. You had so many great ideas, and how to deal with them. Mother's to be should be thanking you all over the place. I hope you have a great weekend!!
Dr..can you suggest a glycolic acid creams which is safe during pregnancy?is hyaluronic acid cream safe during pregnancy?what about 2 percent hydroquinone?plz reply..
I used retinol while breastfeeding and plan to use it while trying to get pregnant. I did my research yes it’s recommended to stop by ACOG as a precaution but the risk of topical retinol affecting a fetus is extremely extremely low. I’m not even using tretinoin which is stronger.
@@BelleMamaDesu she’s a perfectly healthy happy bouncing baby 👶 i felt fine using over the counter beauty retinol products- probably wouldn’t have felt comfortable if it was prescription. I also wasn’t using it daily. Now I’m breastfeeding I use it twice a week
Dr. Dray can you speak about the use of glycolic acid, malic acid and niacinamide? I’ve also seen some controversy about willow bark and licorice root - basically when can we relax or do we really have limited options? I’m nursing now but the information I’m finding is just as confusing/conflicting.
Great video once again Dr Dray! So informative. But then what can we take for acne while pregnant?!? Nothing 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I have severe cystic acne and take aldactone for it and my skin is better now I’m scared once I’m off it it’ll get ruined again 😞😞😞
Please could you recommend anti fungal pregnancy safe products for skin conditions. Thank you so much I have terrible condition on chest and back and TTC 🙏
Hi, thank you so much for this video... I'd like to ask, is Tocopherol and Tocopheryl Acetate safe for pregnancy? Because I've read that Tocopheryl Acetate is contaminated with hydroquinone...
Hi Dr. Dray! are you still planning on doing your pregnancy skin care favorites like you mentioned in this video? I would love know what product recommendations you may have. I started using the vanicream lite lotion on my face per your recommendation because I suspect I have a skin allergy to some ingredient, I like it and no irritation so far but I think I need a little extra moisturizing. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for contributing some quality information for general audience, I do really appreciate it! New subscriber here - but I already watched like half of the content on your chanel :) I suspect someone already asked the question but anyways.. I just recently started adapalene for my stubborn acne (still prescription in europe), and it finally got under control (yay!) Do I need to leave a wash out period when planing to get pregnant so in 2-3 years? When yes how long should it be? Is there any reason for young women not to use it at all because of some accumulation effects over time?
This video is so useful (like all of your videos). I’ve been trying to get pregnant & suffer with acne so this is great to know once I’m pregnant. You’re amazing !! Thanks!
Please do those fun videos "what to expect when expecting" and pregnancy skincare favorites. Also my dermatologist prescribed a cleaner with sulfur and sodium sulfacetamide in it and said I could use it when I get pregnant. It looks like you're saying it's not advised. What do you recommend I do?
Hi Dr. Dray. Great video thank you. Do you think you give give a video of Devita daily solar protective moisturizer spf 30. This sunscreen has no fragrance. No essential oil. Very clean sunscreen. No non sense product.
Hi! thanks for the video! What about Parabens and Phthalates? What's the "real deal" about those and pregnancy? Should they be avoided? I noticed that a lot of the "all natural" brands brag that their products don't have those ingredients as well. Does that matter? Thanks!
Hi Doctor I have retinol serum in my current skin care routine. If I am planning to get pregnant how long I should wait after I stop using these products? How long these ingredients would stay in my system?
Great video as always. Speaking of salicylic acid, some people use crushed aspirin as a face mask for acne (maybe due to its similarity with salicylic acid?). What do you think about aspirin for acne treatment and the safety of its topical use during pregnancy, doc?
even worse idea...unless you have a certain medical condition, aspirin is generally not recommended during pregnancy...discuss w/ your treating health care provider...but putting it on the face is a bad idea for multiple reasons....chemical burn for starters
I found with pregnancy, besides the stretch marks, my face appeared so much brighter and flawless. Not sure if that’s just genetics but I contributed it to prenatal vitamins and hormones??
Thank you Dr. Dray for this video. Could you please comment on the use of "Cosrx Ultimate nourishing rice overnight spa mask" during first trimester of pregnancy? Is it safe to use?

yeah dry skin and eczema rashes are very common in pregnancy, so flowery stuff can be a problem
6 months pregnant and all the skin changes you listed, I’m currently going through! Thanks for this video :)

Thanks!
Please do baby washes and creams!! Please like this so she can see it. I am having a hard time picking a good shampoo/wash for my baby.
I second this! Seriously,my daughter has sensitive skin and eczema,and it's so hard to figure out what to use for her skin.
Yes please make more videos about pregnancy care!

Is Vitamin C ok to be used during pregnancy?

GA is generally regarded as safe in pregnancy. Pregnant or not, avoid bergamot oil , it can cause phototoxicity

Hello Dr. Dray, with regard to sunscreens, I have the following and have been using in rotation.
1 Krave Beet the Sun
2 Colorescience Mineral Sunscreen
3 Purito Unscented sunscreen
Which one do you recommend for pregnancy use? Thanks a lot.
Hi Dr Dray, this is very informative and helpful! Can you please make an update video for pregnancy skincare or your favorite products for this category? Thank you!
What are your thoughts on Oxybenzone in sunscreen ? I used till week 6 until I read an article stating chemical sunscreen was bad for pregnancy
Yes...skin care routine for acne during pregnancy would be so helpful. I have acne and trying for pregnancy but dreading to have to stop BP and salicylic acid during that time.
Would love your faves for pregnancy. Include hair care. Also if these would be the same recommendations while breastfeeding.
Yes to all of the above pregnancy topics!!! You are the BEST, Dr. Dray!!!
:)
Yesss more videos on pregnancy issues please! Thank you Dr. Dray :)
What do you think about licorice root? I am hearing AVOID in pregnancy? Any thoughts yay or nay?
Thank you so much Dr. Dray! Very informative! My skin has been soo dry and itchy since i got pregnant and I’ve always had oily skin. This explains so much!
:)
Would love more advice on your favorites and the what you expect idea!! So appreciate your channel in life and now this new chapter.
Pregnancy does wonders for my skin, and it’s horrendous in between pregnancies (hormonal acne, jawline and chin acne), so my derm is recommending tretnoin and spiro to target that AFTER this pregnancy (my third and final pregnancy) is over. I’ve been using glycolic acid and azelaic acid as actives and tons of moisturizing.
I do get flair ups in my psoriasis though during pregnancy which sucks because all of the treatments that have been effective for me are not recommended for use during pregnancy... ugh! Trying a new one that is safe, my derm said a lot of his patients have luck with it so hopefully I will too. Thanks for all of the info Dr Dray!
treating psoriasis in pregnancy can be really tricky
Thank you so much for honoring my request doc!! Splendid video.
:) Hope I am not too late, lol.

Do I need to leave a wash out period when planing to get pregnant so in 2-3 years? When yes how long should it be? Is there any reason for young women not to use it at all because of some accumulation effects over time?
Can you suggest Eczema skin care products from body wash to itch relief that are safe during pregnancy?
This video is so useful (like all of your videos). I’ve been trying to get pregnant & suffer with acne so this is great to know once I’m pregnant. You’re amazing !! Thanks!
Glad to hear :)
Please do those fun videos "what to expect when expecting" and pregnancy skincare favorites.
Also my dermatologist prescribed a cleaner with sulfur and sodium sulfacetamide in it and said I could use it when I get pregnant. It looks like you're saying it's not advised. What do you recommend I do?
see my pregnancy playlist...i have more videos
What about moisturizing skin with shea butter, or olive oil? Would you recommend that?
Hi Dr. Dray. Great video thank you. Do you think you give give a video of Devita daily solar protective moisturizer spf 30. This sunscreen has no fragrance. No essential oil. Very clean sunscreen. No non sense product.
Hi, I'm new to your channel. Curious if you think Glycolic acid face wash is safe to use during pregnancy. Also, why is topical sulfur not safe?
Not related to this video, but just wanted to tell you that I'm really enjoying riced cauliflower in my daily oats!! Also, happy Friday!!
i can't quit eating that, lol
I’ve started doing that, too!
what about like shampoos, conditioners, things you absorb through your scalp and also deodorants. would love more pregnancy vids, thanks!
Hi! thanks for the video! What about Parabens and Phthalates? What's the "real deal" about those and pregnancy? Should they be avoided? I noticed that a lot of the "all natural" brands brag that their products don't have those ingredients as well. Does that matter? Thanks!
more than fine
Hi Doctor I have retinol serum in my current skin care routine. If I am planning to get pregnant how long I should wait after I stop using these products? How long these ingredients would stay in my system?
Hi Dr. Is COSRX Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser safe? Thank you and hoping for your reply! 😊
I used retinol serum from paula choice in my pregnancy. My doc said is safe because have low retinol concentration

I forgot to mention I am pregnant. Is it still fine?
Yes, please make a video with recommendations!
Great video as always. Speaking of salicylic acid, some people use crushed aspirin as a face mask for acne (maybe due to its similarity with salicylic acid?). What do you think about aspirin for acne treatment and the safety of its topical use during pregnancy, doc?
Jaycee chemical burns 😮 there's way too much SA in aspirin for that to be ok
even worse idea...unless you have a certain medical condition, aspirin is generally not recommended during pregnancy...discuss w/ your treating health care provider...but putting it on the face is a bad idea for multiple reasons....chemical burn for starters
Hello Doctor thank you for the video it was very helpful, May kindly request you to advise an eye cream during pregnancy please
I found with pregnancy, besides the stretch marks, my face appeared so much brighter and flawless. Not sure if that’s just genetics but I contributed it to prenatal vitamins and hormones??
:)
Hi Dr Dray, can creams with urea 30% be used during pregnancy? On feet specifically?
I’m wondering this too.
Even skincare for NEWBORNS AND BABIES!
is it safe to do microneedling at home or professionally at the dermatologist / esthetician's office?
Thanks so much Dr. Dray for this video. Im pregnant and I would like to ask if you consider the line Soon Jung safe to use while pregnant?
Thanks a lot for this Q&A! What about glycolic acid in toners, is that safe? Thanks!
yes (they are aha)
Dr Dray thank you!!
Thank you Dr. Dray for this video. Could you please comment on the use of "Cosrx Ultimate nourishing rice overnight spa mask" during first trimester of pregnancy? Is it safe to use?
