The candid part where you spoke of miscarriages and fertility treatments, it's a breath of fresh air to see women not treat something that is common like it's the devil. We love you, more power to you girl!❤
This is THE best review of pregnancy-safe skincare. I’m an RN and appreciate your discussion of the differing percentages of actives that may or may not be concerning. I also appreciate you discussing ingredients that are controversial between different dermatologists. This was a very honest and thorough review. Other reviews I’ve watched from other dermatologists can be misleading. And to those who do not work in healthcare may not question their recommendations. Thank you for this review. I look forward to watching more of your content! I am definitely subscribing!
This popped up when I needed it most!! I'm newly pregnant and very confused about what I can and can't use. Thank you for putting everything so black and white! Made it super easy to understand!!
I am not pregnant but I am sooo here to learn about anything Skincare! 😍🙌🏻 Could you pretty please do a video about dehydrated skin with blackheads/whiteheads and hyperpigmentation? That would be amazing! xx
Recently found out I was pregnant and started examining my skin care routine to see what should stay and what should go. I headed straight to TH-cam to see if the incomparable Dr. Idriss would have some tips and girlfriend did not disappoint! 👶🏻❤️
This comes from such a beautiful place ❤️ as someone who suffered a late miscarriage due to my body getting an infection, I can totally relate to being scared of “effing it up” and messed up what you’re creating. Thanks so so much for this!!
It will be great if you do a video on skincare that covers on who to take care of your belly ,breast , feet while being pregnant. It will be so helpful.
Thank you, I had requested this! I get what you’re saying about pregnancy being short in the overall scheme of your life, but I am pregnant with my third and have been continuously pregnant and/or breastfeeding since November 2016! After learning I was pregnant, I was happy but did think, and now I still can’t use Retinol for another 2 years. It will likely be 6 years of avoiding all these products, or most of my 30’s. Oh well!
I'm so glad i found this channel I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant! 🌟 💕 🌟 I've noticed more sunspots being pregnant but overall my skin is glowing I get the odd pimple but otherwise good ☺ lots of love to you BEAUTIFULL xox
Thank you so much for this video, we had several miscarriages before this current pregnancy. I am breaking out so badly and have been so afraid to use any products for my skin. THANK YOU 🥰
So so so helpful! I struggle with hormonal acne almost always, and I thought I just had to suffer during pregnancy and deal with it but there are more acceptable ingredients than I thought!
This video is not good just for pregnant women. This is great too for people like me who are trying to avoid anything that get absorbed in the blood for obvious reasons! Thank you!
Thank you for this video!! Pure sense, especially about ‘clean beauty’!! I’m 40 weeks pregnant and I’ve stopped using hair certain products and retinol products. Cannot wait to start using my products again. 💕💕
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm 7 weeks pregnant and having to stop/change my routine has wreaked absolute havoc on my skin (plus the hormones, I'm sure).
Perfect timing on this video! Had my FET yesterday, so I'm taking notes! hopefully we got good news this cycle. Thanks for sharing your story at the beginning of this video. ❤️
I LOVED this video! Thank you so much for doing a post on pregnancy. I've done a lot of research and felt overall pretty well-informed, but I loved hearing an expert's interpretation on all of the maybes. Thank you!
Dr. Shereen, this is so helpful and insightful - can you possibly consider doing a video on back / body acne during pregnancy? I am really struggling 😏
thank you for marking this video, it has been so helpful! I am 6 weeks pregnant after a very long time of trying to conceive and I am terrified of doing anything wrong! my dermatologist made me a concoction of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and 15% azelaic acid to use during my pregnancy, which I am using all over my face every night. I have been struggling to find a sunscreen with no salicylates in, but my midwife said it should be fine to use one with salicylates in because very little of it will be absorbed
Thank you so much! I love your evidence based approach to skincare. Your approach is so realistic and informative. Thank you for explaining why you recommend or don’t recommend certain ingredients, that’s so helpful for making informed choices.
I think stretch marks are genetic, all of the women in my family have them to some degree. Even the ones who didn't have children. While I was pregnant 16yrs ago, I used a product called Mother's Friend! Got it at my drugstore and I gotta say that my stretch marks aren't as prominent as my sister's. I'm gonna look into Indeed to see if I can fade them more. And kudos to you for being transparent about your pregnancy struggles. I'm happy that you and your babies are healthy 💕
Never had children and I am 43 and my hair part has widened and my crown has thinned and I have long ass hair down to my waist and have to strategically use root spray with heavy alcohol and chemicals on my part. Root spray makes my crown dry and regular shampoo so t wash it all out. I have to use Neutrogena’s T-Sal or anti-residue twice per week with a shower hair massage brush.
❤love the recs. Would it be possible pls to perhaps make a separate video/short with a safe list for pregnancy anti-aging products aka routine ? I live in Europe and cannot find most products here sadly . Thanks so much
I think stretch marks are all about genetics, I had two pregnancies and I got huge - zero stretch marks. I didn't treat my belly with anything at all while pregnant.
I think there could be a little bit more to it than only genetics. My first baby I had absolutely no stretch marks but I got pregnant again 3 months after giving birth. With baby #2 I got huge stretch marks and saggy skin. I feel it may have been because I hadn't fully recovered after birth.
After last wks vid. I bought the caffeine eye cream and omg gotta say that I’m impressed- my dark eye circles are deff less dark and people have noticed! Thank you!😽(albeit I was skeptical to buy it at first🤪)
Speaking of chemical sunscreen in blood, whenever I wear my sunbum face screen like 20 minutes later I taste it in my throat?it goes away eventually, but I googled it and found one other lady with my same concern lol
I get this sometimes but its because I put sunscreen on my lips then when I lick my lips I taste it in my mouth :) I think thats the reason for your taste as well.
Thank you so much for this video! Just found out I'm pregnant and now getting overwhelmed with all the information out there. In looking at a few of my favourite sunscreens, they contain butyloctyl salicylate. Thoughts on continuing to use during pregnancy? Thanks! 😊
I agree with most of the comments filled with love so I'm just gonna say that that painting is going great! We got to see an update on it when you showed it was snowing and it looks niice. Greetings from Venezuela
I gotta say I was expecting basic ideas like what to use for stretch marks (like what oils to use: I'm using rosehip oil) or what skin moisturizer or gel is best for pregnancy (I'm using aloe Vera gel) or blood flow aid like dry brushing
Love love love ALL you content !❤️❤️ You bring correct information with authenticity AND so much fun ! Plleeeaasssee give us some content on dealing with skin and hair conditions that come with PCOD/PCOS! Lots of love from India !❤️
I'm here because I was doubting on if I should keep using Retinol. What happens if I just found out and I kind of used it almost every night during the first month and a half or so? 🙏🏻 Can you please talk about hair dying and other hair treatments during pregnancy?🙏🏻 Also, botox is a no during pregnancy, right? Thanks a lot!!! This video was amazing!
So true! I read 3 esthetics text books and none of them mentioned pregnancy and skincare. I was shocked. It mentioned menopause and the menstrual cycle tho
Loved this vid (even though I won't be having bebez for a while)! I'd love to hear more about different in-clinic treatment options and what they're used for (I heard you mention PRP laser once, micro stamping, chemical peels, etc)
im glad i found your video, im very early in my pregnancy and i've used chemical sunscreen and i didn't realise it was bad until now and now im stressing! Especially as im pregnant after years of ivf, so stressing i could potentially have affected my little embryo
I don’t think you should be so stressed! If chemical filters were so bad and harmful, it would be written on the packaging, like it’s written on wine bottles, energy drinks and medication, even vitamin D has this note „avoid if you’re pregnant“ (I live in Europe) , but not sunscreens. I also asked 4 doctors about what cosmetics I should avoid while pregnant/breastfeeding, and 2 of them said nothing at all, the other 2 said retinoids and things with prescription. P.S. Can we congratulate you?
The candid part where you spoke of miscarriages and fertility treatments, it's a breath of fresh air to see women not treat something that is common like it's the devil. We love you, more power to you girl!❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ more people I hope can become upfront and ok with their life experiences . There’s no shame 🙏🙌
instablaster...
petition for OBGYNs to have to tell us this!!! I just had my baby and i was never told any of this but i was told all about the foods I had to avoid.
Iam not even married yet iam watching this just in case i get married and get pregnant lol 😂😂❤❤
LOL 🙏❤️
Lol me too
@Chelle Bright i won't let him controle me , don't worry
yes because being married is the only way you can have a baby

Dr.Idriss,please please pretty please make a video on frontal balding and what should we do for growth. Also,for eyebrows and eyelashes.🥺

My daughter is 6mo old I kept asking about pregnancy skincare on your lives so glad to have this video to refer to next pregnancy.
I absolutely love Black Girl Screen, glad to hear it is safe during pregnancy.
You are my favorite on TH-cam. Thank you for bringing us pregnant women peace of mind with all of the overwhelming material out there R/T skincare!
Love skincare but sick of the clean movement hysteria so thank you so much for your professional advice! So refreshing 💜

This is just wonderful! Making info like these accessible to people who are in high risk categories especially during this pandemic!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, we had several miscarriages before this current pregnancy. I am breaking out so badly and have been so afraid to use any products for my skin. THANK YOU 🥰
So so so helpful! I struggle with hormonal acne almost always, and I thought I just had to suffer during pregnancy and deal with it but there are more acceptable ingredients than I thought!
So good! It’s so confusing when your pregnant to navigate what you can and can’t use
I had my daughter 6 months ago butttt I’ll still watch cuz it’s Dr. Shereene Idriss duhhh
This was the best video I’ve ever seen on pregnancy skincare!!
Hi Shereene! Fellow doc here! Just wanna say I love your platform, so informative! I started to send patients to your channel :) Congrats!
I would love to see something more in depth about hormonal acne. I have struggled with it for far too long.
This video is not good just for pregnant women. This is great too for people like me who are trying to avoid anything that get absorbed in the blood for obvious reasons! Thank you!

Thank you also for marking the tops in the description! I already watched your video but came back for specific infos ♥️
Perfect timing on this video! Had my FET yesterday, so I'm taking notes! hopefully we got good news this cycle. Thanks for sharing your story at the beginning of this video. ❤️
Would love to see a video on a full skin-care line (AM/PM) all drugstore or affordable products (everything from cleanser to Vit. C, etc) :)
Drugstore Vit C is trash.
I LOVED this video! Thank you so much for doing a post on pregnancy. I've done a lot of research and felt overall pretty well-informed, but I loved hearing an expert's interpretation on all of the maybes. Thank you!

Hair loss post pregnancy could be a good topic, or hair loss due to stress (aka lockdown)
Yes all about hair please!! ❤️
On it!
Never had children and I am 43 and my hair part has widened and my crown has thinned and I have long ass hair down to my waist and have to strategically use root spray with heavy alcohol and chemicals on my part. Root spray makes my crown dry and regular shampoo so t wash it all out. I have to use Neutrogena’s T-Sal or anti-residue twice per week with a shower hair massage brush.
Thank you so much. I’m sorry to hear you went through loss and struggles. I appreciate your advise during this time ❤️🤰🏽✨
ur so pretty, luv ur vids 💕 plz do a vid on eczema
❤️❤️❤️
yesss lifetime eczema sufferer here 🙋♀️
@@shereeneidriss Yes! Please do an eczema vid! Pregnancy eczema is reaaal!
Super helpful- thank you. Thank you for straight-forward advice on what we CAN use- something that can be hard for pregnant women to come by!
I would be very interested in seeing your skincare morning + evening routines when you were pregnant...!
not anywhere near a momma to be yet but best bet I'm going to watch this entire video and love it!!!!!
I hope you did 🙏🙌
❤love the recs. Would it be possible pls to perhaps make a separate video/short with a safe list for pregnancy anti-aging products aka routine ? I live in Europe and cannot find most products here sadly . Thanks so much
Chere Docteur, le jour ou j’ai vu votre video j’ai appris que j’etais enceinte de mon 3eme enfant.❤️ merci
do we have to stop using all the "don't" products a couple months/weeks before getting pregnant?
I think stretch marks are all about genetics, I had two pregnancies and I got huge - zero stretch marks. I didn't treat my belly with anything at all while pregnant.
I think there could be a little bit more to it than only genetics. My first baby I had absolutely no stretch marks but I got pregnant again 3 months after giving birth. With baby #2 I got huge stretch marks and saggy skin. I feel it may have been because I hadn't fully recovered after birth.
@@lolsaXx oh wow! Well there goes my theory then! Lol!
@@Anna-vz5tn Doctors always say stretch marks are due to genetics. I'm just sharing my experience so far.
I recently found out that I’m pregnant and I’m just watching and reading everything I can Bc I’m clueless
Can you do a pregnancy safe skin care routine, including pregnancy safe eye creams? Thank you!
Thanks for making this video, I'm not pregnant, but I'm definitely saving this video❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I’m not having anymore kids but I’m still watching this cause I love Shereene 💕 thank you for sharing your story 😘
Thank you for making this!
I watched your IG story post too.
That was great too!
Love this video💖💖💖 I love how you explain information🤩🤩 but I wanted to say that i think the black girl sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen!👍🏾
Thank you Dr. Shereen. How early should I stop retinoids and hydroquinone before planning to get pregnant?
After last wks vid. I bought the caffeine eye cream and omg gotta say that I’m impressed- my dark eye circles are deff less dark and people have noticed! Thank you!😽(albeit I was skeptical to buy it at first🤪)
Did you think about pregnant women with Rosacea, Eczema or Psoriasis during their gestation? How can we treat that?
Could you do a video talking about all the at-home facial tools (NuFace, Sonawave, Foreo, etc.)?
The paulas choice azelaic acid that your recommended has salicylic acid in it
I was looking at the same. Is it safe?
I learned that salicylic acid doesn't hurt when applied in low concentration but salicylate does
Paula’s choice Azelaic acid also has salicylic acid (but doesn’t say the concentration if it’s less than 5%)
Please make a video overview about the various laser / light treatments for skin! They’re so confusing!
I love you share your routine and the fact you were cautious during pregnancy.
Love your videos! Not pregnant, but I'll still watch every second. Working on getting to know my skin, as your recommend. :)
That the way to do it!
Just an fyi, the Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid Booster also contains salysilic acid, so avoid it if you're concerned about that.
cheers to us who are not married but learning from our fav dermatologist for the better future 😀
Love your videos! They have been eye-opening and validating. What are your thoughts on hair dye/color during pregnancy?
Altreno is my absolute favorite tretinoin. What a brilliant formula!!!
I just love and appreciate your sense of humor ❤ from 🇬🇭
Please do a vid about seborrheic dermatitis
Do bear in mind that the Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid booster contains salicylic acid though...
Good to know!!!
That was a bummer for me. I used to use this product a lot and now, I can't :/
What about Paula’s choice 2% BHA ? Safe ?
Yes, but I believe only 0,5%. So still OK. Edit: just read the ingredient list again and it doesn't list the percentage. So it could be more..
i can't get pregnant because i don't have a uterus but i am watching AND taking notes ✍
And I love you for it 🙌❤️ ur knowledge might help a pregnant lperson out there in the future!!!
Hey carl some men can actually get pregnant , like me who is a trans* man and who- also -has a uterus :)
@@flowben5103 yes omg. edited my comment for sensitivity context. thanks for this!

Currently 30 weeks pregnant and love the video. What skincare and spf do you use on your babies?
Thanks Dr Idriss. Please also consider posting a post partum routine that can address darkening of stomach and underarms.
I agree with most of the comments filled with love so I'm just gonna say that that painting is going great! We got to see an update on it when you showed it was snowing and it looks niice. Greetings from Venezuela
We're planning to try next month so I'm trying to absorb the information as much as possible ❤❤ Thank you for your video ❤❤
Can you do a video about bakuchiol please
This was so insightful thank you! What are your views on hydra facials while pregnant?! Thank you 😊
I gotta say I was expecting basic ideas like what to use for stretch marks (like what oils to use: I'm using rosehip oil) or what skin moisturizer or gel is best for pregnancy (I'm using aloe Vera gel) or blood flow aid like dry brushing
I would love a peptide and antioxidant favourite video!! 🙏🏼

Hi! How about azelaic acid?
OMG YOURE AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS. IM EARLY
❤️🙌❤️
Great job! I’m a pharmacist and this is very on point. Good recap
Have you heard anything about licorice root extract in skincare being an issue? 15 minute beauty doesn't recommend it, but it's in everything!!!
Omg these tips and recommendations have really saved my skin. Thanks soo much
Currently 30 weeks. Thank you for the video adding one of the acids you suggested now!
I'm here because I was doubting on if I should keep using Retinol. What happens if I just found out and I kind of used it almost every night during the first month and a half or so? 🙏🏻
Can you please talk about hair dying and other hair treatments during pregnancy?🙏🏻 Also, botox is a no during pregnancy, right? Thanks a lot!!! This video was amazing!
Thank you so much! It is so hard to find solid information on pregnancy skin care.
So true! I read 3 esthetics text books and none of them mentioned pregnancy and skincare. I was shocked. It mentioned menopause and the menstrual cycle tho
The paulas choicec azalaic booster also has salicylic acid
Loved this vid (even though I won't be having bebez for a while)! I'd love to hear more about different in-clinic treatment options and what they're used for (I heard you mention PRP laser once, micro stamping, chemical peels, etc)
Thank you Dr Idriss! Perfect timing as expecting first baby!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!!!
Ok so for pregnancy. Sulfur mask, sulfur shampoo, finacea (azaleaic acid) lactic acid lotions, and red light helmet
This is really helpful, thanks! Pls do a vid on sensitized skin? 🙏
im glad i found your video, im very early in my pregnancy and i've used chemical sunscreen and i didn't realise it was bad until now and now im stressing! Especially as im pregnant after years of ivf, so stressing i could potentially have affected my little embryo
I don’t think you should be so stressed! If chemical filters were so bad and harmful, it would be written on the packaging, like it’s written on wine bottles, energy drinks and medication, even vitamin D has this note „avoid if you’re pregnant“ (I live in Europe) , but not sunscreens. I also asked 4 doctors about what cosmetics I should avoid while pregnant/breastfeeding, and 2 of them said nothing at all, the other 2 said retinoids and things with prescription. P.S. Can we congratulate you?
you make me love saturdays😍 greetings from peru
