Anti ageing cream when pregnant - nivea q10

[Jellybabie3]

So i am 22 weeks pregnant and have been using this but have just heard its dangerous for baby?? Panicking!

What is it you're worried about? I can't imagine you're using anything in a high enough volume or concentration to have any effect on your baby. Nivea recommend their Q10 body oil in pregnancy - are the ingredients similar?

Who on earth told you that!

Ludicrous. There's nothing in it of high enough concentration to be remotely dangerous.

Is this the same for makeup?

Apparently anti aging contains retinol which is bad for the baby

It doesn't contain Retinol.

Make up doesn't contain Retinol.

You can always Google any product you're unsure about.

And parabens are ok? Really annoys me people throw this junk data out there!

"Unless cosmetics are safe for use in pregnancy, they would not be placed on the market. It really is that simple."

Unless you're sticking the cream up your fanny, I don't see it being an issue.

If you are that worried then stop using it.

Probably not even an issue then either!

I was under the impression that they advise against strong retinols/chemical peels in pregnancy because your skin is more sensitive rather than it being dangerous. Caroline Hirons has a blog post on pregnancy skincare if you Google it.
