Does anyone know if it is okay to give Flora Proactive and the like to children? My dh and I use it and I had run out of ordinary spread yesterday and just wondered was it safe to use on children / babies?

The OP's dc will be starting year eight now. Using their fingerprints to buy chips if my dd is anything to go by!

I know this is an old post, please can anyone clarify. I had this a few times and I am 13 weeks pregnant. I did not realise this was not suitable for pregnant women, will my baby be ok? Is it the chemicals or just the nutritional value?

Panicking a bit. 😭

My doctor told me NOT to use Proactiv while I was pregnant because of all the chemicals. Unfortunately, in month 2 of my pregnancy, I started to get really bad acne breakouts on my face. I asked two seperate doctors, and they both recommended I use Citrus Clear products instead of Proactiv, because they are natural and they actually DO WORK. I use the Control Line from Citrus Clear - and it is quite strong and it does work! And it does not have all the chemicals that Proactiv has. Good luck!

A different proactive surely, you weren't washing your face in margarine were you?

It's the chemicals but I'm sure that unless you were eating it like ice cream that your baby will be absolutely fine.
