Anything that helped with pregnancy acne?

[Jess03]

That really. Skin was awful throughout pregnancy with dd1, just got pg again (hooray) and my face is already breaking out like crazy. Any creams etc that helped?

I get it bad also every night before bed I clean my face and put soda cream all over. It always makes my skin better by morning I swear by it

Yes! I get this until month 4/5 with each of my pregnancies (on no 3 at the moment). I get a topical 'dabber' of antibiotic solution which cleared it in two weeks every time after trying everything else. The one I have at the moment is called 'Zinert', or 'Zineryl' - it's on prescription.

Good luck!

I've had (fairly mild) adult acne forever - at least pregnancy hasn't made it any worse. I found a face wash specifically formulated for pregnant women as a lot of normal acne treatments contain salicylic acid (which I normally swear by) and this isn't recommended during pregnancy. The brand is called 'Belli' and you can buy it on Amazon. Can be used as a face mask as well as a wash. Not a miracle cure but does nearly as good a job as my regular acne treatments.

Sudocrem has been best remedy for me. Had acne with dc1 and 2 and now with 3 and this is first time ive tried sudocrem and its really helping.

After every other shower, I smother witch hazel gel on my face and tea tree gel on my shoulders and back where it's worst. It's helped a lot...where it was horrendous at the beginning of my pregnancy, I'm now just getting the odd spot or two.

Thanks for all these recommendations, going to try them all. So funny when people talk about how lovely their skin was, mine stayed persistently awful throughout, it's very hormone reactive. In fact, the first symptom I had was my face going woomph!

I started getting it around 6 month mark! Nothing worked not even prescription stuff. I drink lots of water, eat healthy.ndont smoke or drink. It's depressing. Hoping that will disapear after birth. I. Due next week!
