Pregnancy Safe
18
items I have done HOURS of research from reputable sources (my fav being dermatologist Dr. Sam Ellis) These are some of the products I feel comfortable using during pregnancy.
The pump bottle makes use very easy. I prefer this to a balm. This formula does a good job of removing makeup and sunscreen but does not leave your skin feeling greasy.
Prequel | Pre-Gleanse Nourishing Oil Cleanser
I adore this cleanser. Admittedly I do not always do a double cleanse. If I am not using the prequel oil cleanser this one does a really good job of cleaning makeup on its own.
I use this one when my skin feels like it could use a gentle cleanse.
CeraVe | Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
This is such a power house acne fighting product
Allies of Skin | Azelaic and Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum
There is also a 10% if you are just getting started with vitamin C. This dries down very well and does not leave my skin feeling oily like other vitamin C serums I have tried. I prefer this pump bottle to a dropper style.
Timeless | 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum
I use this after vitamin C for an antioxidant boost and additional anti-aging benefits
Coenzyme Q10 Serum - Timeless Skin Care
I would describe this as light and slippery. It feels very hydrating on the skin.
Vitamin B5 Serum
I cannot get enough of the peptides
Medik8 | Liquid Peptides Advanced MP
This is literally so expensive but they have the research to back it up!
OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement
This is a great light weight moisturizer for face and or body. I have used it both day and night on my face without any issues under makeup or clogging pores
CeraVe | Daily Moisturizing Face and Body Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin
This is a rich moisturizer but does not feel heavy or greasy. I use this when I need a little extra hydration.
CeraVe | Skin Renewing Night Cream Face Moisturizer - 1.7 fl oz: Hydrating, Contains Peptides, No Fragrance Added
Mineral sunscreens are tough. I don’t hate this one
Prequel | Mineral SPF 50 PA++++ Facial Treatment - SPF 50
Mineral sunscreens are tough. I don’t hate this one for my body. I also keep one in my car for my hands while driving.
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Body Shield Classic SPF 50
Expensive but I do like this mineral sunscreen.
sunbetter SHEER SPF 70 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion
A wonderful primer with SPF, could double as your main SPF on “makeup no makeup” days with a little powder and concealer
ciele cosmetics | Acne-Safe SPF Makeup
Pro tip: in pregnancy you are predisposed to melasma tinted sunscreens are better for prevention than untended because they contain iron oxides, which protect against visible light (blue light). While standard sunscreens only block UV rays, iron oxid...
ciele cosmetics | tint & PROTECT SPF 50+
Ciele can do no wrong, I started with their primer and tinted SPF and have slowly added many more products. I love having extra SPF coverage on and around my eye area with such delicate skin there. The product itself performs fantastic. I usually mix...
ciele | conceal & PROTECT SPF 50+
My favorite shade is January, a cool light pink which is perfect on fair skin
ciele | blush & PROTECT SPF 50+
Truly obsessed with this product. I use it as a liquid bronzer and also will add a few drops of it to my moisturizer or to a mineral SPF that has a white cast. For example, I love the Trader Joe’s matte mineral facial sunscreen, but it does have a wh...
ciele | bronze & PROTECT SPF 50+ bronzing concentrate
