Pregnancy Info HOME

I find that I am breaking out big time all over my face. Along the hairline, chin, nose.... and my normal skin care regimine isn't doing crap anymore! I never really had a problem with pimples, maybe the occasional pimple around my menstrual cycle but now I have 15!!!

i have really bad acne att the moment too..i'm 9 weeks 2 days...hoping it will soon clear up. as for stretchmarks, and to prevent acne scarring the very best thing to use is mother of pearl anti scar cream, which i think can be bought online if you run it through google. my mum used it through all her pregnancies and has very few stretxhmarks, its also good for minimising any existing ones, and i used it on my appendicectomy scar and it has almost vanished!wonderful stuff.

This is for E, you said you used proactive in your entire pregnancy. Did you have the baby already and is it healthy and not harm by PROACTIVE? I wanna use it but too worried,I'm 22 wks now and my face is so horrible too oily and breaking out here and there.God bless you.

I have oily skin (usually, but worse while pg)--I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub

I don't have problem skin except when pregnant. Most brands work the same for me. The key to getting rid of blemishes seems to be drinking water and using astrigent, regardless of brand.

Has anyone tried the cream by nature's cure for acne? I don't take the pills they provide but the cream has always helped to clear acne on face, back, chest etc. It seriously clears my pimple in like a day or two. I love it! I've used proactive and that kinda works too, I'm just not disciplined enough to stick to the regimen. Anyway...Nature's cure is MY suggestion for acne.

Menomonie, WI, nice town! Fun place to party!!!!! I've never had acne problems, even as a teen I had very good skin but now my back gets sort of bumpy acne but no pimples or anything. Just real rough. I'm terrified of stretch marks!

Hi Tricia - I started using PA prior to my pregnancy and did not know that some say not to use it while pregnant until month 7. My baby was born on 3/21 and is doing well. Honestly, I do not think that the health of my child should be used to make your decision about using the product. I had excellent results with PA and am so happy that I used it. Good luck to you:)

Thanks a lot E. That gives me a great positive look of how this is to take as a very serious one. I love Proactive so much,And I'm using it for 1 year and half I just stop it due to a lot of people are giving me NO to any cleanser. I'm happy that you and your baby are doing well. I wish you all the best and may we have more people like you who are welling to give some good advice. God Bless you and your family.
