Duac gel and co-sleeping

[Rudens]

I've always had bad skin but it's gotten much worse since having DD. I really want to do something about it now so I've been prescribed Duac gel. I've read in the instructions that it's quite strong and can even bleach pillowcases. My DD is a terrible sleeper and most of the night she sleeps in my bed as that's the only way any of us are getting any sleep. So I'm a bit worried what happens if she touches my face at night when I have the gel on. Just wondering if anyone has been in similar situation or has used Duac and has some insight?

It is strong, OP, I used it for years. It is very drying and would probably irritate baby skin.

Having said that - I doubt she’d get much on her very often. Surely she’ll be more at boob level than face level?

babies skin is so fragile wouldn't risk it

My now grown adults sons have used it in the past and I have had to throw out all their pillowcases as they had bleached spots all over them .I would not risk it with a baby.

Thanks everyone. I will wait till she gets bigger and sleeps in her own cot

Have you tried a salicylic acid toner or a glycolic one? I never had any benefit from the Benzoyl Peroxide type ones but the acid toners have worked wonders. I likd the Nip Fab stuff.
