Pregnancy brings real skin changes — increased sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, stretch marks, and sometimes patches of hyperpigmentation (melasma) that weren't there before. Postpartum brings its own shifts as hormones recalibrate.

Not every ingredient that's normally fine is recommended during pregnancy — retinoids and high-dose salicylic acid are typically advised against, which is worth knowing before reaching for your usual products. Always check with your doctor about any skincare concerns during pregnancy.

We stock gentle, widely-considered-safe formulas suited to this stage — always double-check with your doctor for anything you're unsure about, since individual medical advice matters more than general guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skincare ingredients should I avoid while pregnant?

Retinoids and high-dose salicylic acid are commonly advised against during pregnancy — always check with your doctor about your specific skincare routine and any concerns.

Is vitamin C serum safe during pregnancy?

It's generally considered one of the safer active ingredients during pregnancy, but check with your doctor to confirm what's right for you.

Why does my skin break out more during pregnancy?

Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy commonly increase oil production, which can lead to more breakouts even in people who don't usually experience them.

What is melasma and why does it happen during pregnancy?

Melasma is a hormonal pigmentation pattern, often called the 'mask of pregnancy,' that shows up as darker patches, typically on the face — it often fades postpartum but can take time.

Is it safe to use stretch mark cream while breastfeeding?

Many are safe, but check ingredient lists and consult your doctor, particularly for any products applied near the chest area.
