Typical facial cleansers are safe. However, there are certain acne medications that should not be used as they have been known to cause birth defects. If you are in doubt ask your OB.

Most facial cleansers are fine and perfectly safe, however make sure they do not have salicyilic acid in them ( Not sure if I spelled it right) But this can cause birth defects. Retin A is not safe. Just because you dont ingest it doesnt mean its safe. Putting certain things on the skin can be just as bad. Im sure you can find some information on the things I just gave you at http://babycenter.com. You can find just about anything there.

Yes, facial cleansers are safe during pregnancy. The ingredients that do absorb into the skin are not harmful to the developing baby.

Um no all these people are wrong. First off, when you put this on your skin, of course its absorbed into your skin therefor your blood which reaches the baby :) make sense? Second of all, there are SOME that are unsafe.Anything containing salicylic acid is unsafe. It has been known to cause mild birth defects. Also anything containing Tetracycline is unsafe.
IMPORTANT: Do not take any acne medications or over-the-counter treatments without checking with your health care provider. Some of these are not safe for pregnant women to use. Accutane (also called isotretinoin, Amnesteem and Claravis) is a prescription medication used to treat severe acne. It is a member of a family of drugs called retinoids. Accutane and other retinoids can cause very serious birth defects.

Facial cleansers are very safe to use. Its just to clean your pores, it is not absorbed into the body or to the baby.

docs are split as to how plenty using salicylic acid can influence an unborn fetus. tests performed on sufferers who took an oral style of the compound have been discovered to reason delivery defects and being pregnant issues alongside with: an extra effective incident of miscarriage, coronary heart and lung issues for the newborn and bleeding issues for the two mom and newborn. those are an identical issues cutting-edge in pregnant women people who took aspirin for the time of being pregnant. whilst the topical style of salicylic acid has not been examined on pregnant women people, many wellbeing care experts advise guidance clean of applying any ointment containing the chemical. that's fairly real of facial and physique peels. The extra answer rubbed onto the floor, and absorbed into the bloodstream, the extra threat there is. this is expected that a physique peel containing salicylic acid is the equivalent of taking one aspirin.

Unless your cleanser contains a warning label about use during pregnancy, you and your unborn child should be fine. During my own pregnancies, I used OLAY products and both of my children were perfect at birth. They are 8 and 9 now and other than being a little spoiled, they are fine. Good luck.
