I don’t have a huge skin care routine and like an idiot it’s not something that’s even crossed my mind I’ve been so busy worrying about everything else.

I learned today that you are not supposed to use retinoids during pregnancy but I have been using Superdrug’s own brand once a day about 3 times a week for the last probably 6 weeks and now I’m getting myself extremely stressed😳😳

It’s only 0.2% and obviously I won’t be continuing using it but just hoping someone can reassure me that this amount won’t have caused any damage?

No advice but I have also been using a double strength retinol serum.
I just checked the bottle and box and it doesn't say anything about pregnancy, I had no idea it wasn't safe so thank you for the post.
