Pregnancy acne - anyone else?

I'm nearly 10 weeks pregnant and my entire face is covered in bright red acne.

I have had hormonal acne in the past which ironically cleared up completely once I stopped taking cerazette.

Does anyone else have this? Does it clear up or am I stuck with this for the entire pregnancy? Any tips for pregnancy safe solutions to reduce redness?

I broke out when I was 8 weeks pregnant. This was horrid. Everything begun on my face and then got on my back. I changed my skincare routine and my face cleared up a little. I must admit that the most important is diet. However, I changed my usual facial cleanser to the one I was suggested by il makiage customer service, I hoped they would help. I followed the recommendations, sometimes used calamine lotion mixed with a cleanser, no oil based products except of organic coconut oil for moisturizer. It became better.
