Pregnancy-Approved Skincare

items I had to adjust my skincare routine when I got pregnant, here is what has been working for me:
A holy grail product, pregnant or not. Helps with redness and evens out skin tone. Plays nice with other products- I use it after my Vitamin C serum but before moisturizer, day and night.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% for Exfoliation & Even Skin Tone
A great Vitamin C serum for the price. Evens out skin tone and gentle enough to use daily. It has a nice consistency and dries down quickly, perfect for a quick morning routine.
Vitamin C Glow Serum
Salicylic acid is widely considered a pregnancy-safe chemical exfoliant. Naturium’s 2% Salicylic Acid is an effective exfoliant that dries down quickly and evens out skin tone. It’s done a great job replacing my beloved retinol during my pregnancy.
Salicylic Acid (BHA) Skincare Products
A great lightweight moisturizer for day or night. Goes on nicely over my other products and under SPF.
Multi-Peptide Moisturizer - Naturium | Ulta Beauty
Did you know that physical sunscreens are recommended for pregnant people? I didn’t either, til I got pregnant. Elta MD’s UV Clear Broad Spectrum Sunscreen provides great sun protection with an easy to use, hygienic pump. It leaves no white cast and ...
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 (1.7 fl. oz.)
A glass-skin must have. Provides much needed hydration in the drier winter months.
Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner - ANUA | Ulta Beauty
Using this in a valiant attempt to prevent stretch marks. Even if it doesn’t work, it feels nice to use, dries down quickly, and sits nicely under moisturizer. If it does work, I’ll update this recommendation to share the good news 🙌
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Currently pairing this with The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid to prevent stretch marks. This lightweight cream goes on smoothly and doesn’t pill. Works well as a summertime face moisturizer also.
Shop SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Poremizing Light Gel Cream - 75ml | STYLEVANA
The gold-standard for preventing and minimizing stretch marks. This oil goes in smoothly and dries down quickly. It has a light, pleasant scent that diminishes once it’s dried.
4.2 oz Skincare Oil for Scars and Stretch Marks - Bio-Oil | Ulta Beauty
A fan favorite for a reason. This serum goes on smoothly and hydrates while reducing redness and evens skin tone. I noticed a difference after just a couple weeks of using this serum, and will continue to repurchase.
1.35 oz Glass Skin Refining Serum - PEACH & LILY | Ulta Beauty
I have about 40 of these all over the house, it’s that good.
Pomegranate Lip Balm
This stuff takes even the most stubborn makeup off with ease. I use it as the first step in my double cleansing routine, or alone in the morning to refresh my skin without stripping it.
Sensibio H2O Micellar Water 16,9 fl. oz
An OG. Hormonal acne has come back with a vengeance and this cleanser does a great job cleansing my skin without stripping it. It also has helped keep my oil at bay throughout the day.
Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid, 9.1 oz
