The pink breakouts have turned into tan bumps that match myour skin. The soap does a good job of drying out the bumps and shrinking them too. I haven't used the soap on my face because I already had a routine for that, but I had a doosy bump on my chin/ neck and used it there to another magical result. While the soap doesn't prevent breakouts it's keeping my skin in check from looking grotesque. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2317044 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 19:13:28 +0000 catomd00 2317044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: do they make a salicylic acid free green tea scrub? The only one I can ever find has salicylic acids, which I like to avoid for frequent use, but I love that green tea scrub!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2317037 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 19:02:44 +0000 ms.line 2317037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I stopped using my Rx acne meds when I was TTC, and my skin was AWFUL my first tri. I tried Cetaphil and tea tree oil, Belli, Mario Badescu, and Dermatologica, and nothing made a dent. Finally I bought some Proactiv+ at the mall, and that did help clear up my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2317032 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:57:52 +0000 pastemoo 2317032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks mamas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316534 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 10:17:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2316534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Nutragena Oil Free Acne wash. It helped, but I still broke out a lot (especially on my back!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316493 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 09:28:39 +0000 alphagam84 2316493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found that getting facials where they do extractions has helped my skin. I have acne that awful on my jaw line and nothing seems to help. I even had the ob prescribe a prescription creme that is safe during pregnancy and that hasn't done anything. I'm slathering on benzoyl peroxide twice a day now in hopes that will help. Just this morning I popped 5 pimpled along my jaw! It's awful. Luckily I'm due in a couple of weeks and hopefully it will start to subside and I can use stronger stuff to treat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316423 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 08:39:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2316423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came back to say for my face I use Cetaphil Wash then Green Tea Scrub then Tree Tea Oil Toner then Cetaphil Moisturizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316409 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 08:29:39 +0000 Alivoo01 2316409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using the green tea scrub by St ives and Tea tree oil wash from The Body Shop. I'm still breaking out, but I also apply Clean &amp; Clear spot treatment and that really helps speed up the process/clear it faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316232 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 21:59:46 +0000 jh524 2316232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use cetaphil too but still have have been having breakouts here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316229 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 21:57:16 +0000 MrsSRS 2316229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used alcohol free witch hazel as a toner (and spot treated with salicylic acid rarely). Plus just a generic, mild, face wash. Try cetaphil plus witch hazel maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316155 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:27:36 +0000 catomd00 2316155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cerave and I exfoliate with apricot scrub and do use the one with salicylic acid once a week. I tried belli with my first and it didn't do a thing for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316122 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 19:21:26 +0000 Canoli 2316122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I haven't changed my face wash because I'm so sensitive but I use Belli pregnancy brand acne spot treatment at the recommendation from another HB user and I really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316117 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 19:10:46 +0000 beloved 2316117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc told me I could continue using benzoyl peroxide. I did throughout my pregnancy and it kept my cystic acne at bay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breaking-out-in-pregnancy#post-2316042 Sun, 11 Oct 2015 16:30:21 +0000 pastemoo 2316042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:) Let me know @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: !</p> <p>I'll check out some Cetaphil in the mean time.
