Got it. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll see what works and what doesn’t </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790927 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 15:01:16 +0000 Littlebit7 2790927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: as far as I know, yes. Its the sulfur in the mask that makes it smell. </p> <p>I listed another one up above, Kate Somerville Eradikate acne treatment. It comes in a little glass vial. I use it more for spot treating or if something is brewing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790925 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:48:16 +0000 misolee 2790925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7 </p> <p>So the Dr. Dennis Clarifying Collodial Sulfur Mask is safe to use during pregnancy? but it also smells? </p> <p>Is there any other specific sulphur products? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790916 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:29:46 +0000 Littlebit7 2790916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JJ2626: yeah the sulphur actually really helped me. Heads up though....it smells. Like sulphur/rotten eggs. So thats a downside. But the upside is...cleared my acne. I haven't had issues at all this pregnancy but wondering if that will change post partum with the massive hormonal shift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790909 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:05:49 +0000 JJ2626 2790909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had acne on my back and face (mostly hairline) all pregnancy. It sucks. My OB actually aid benzoyl peroxide was the best thing to use, so I’ve been trying that but it doesn’t work all that well. I’m going to try those Sulphr products though. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790906 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 13:23:31 +0000 Littlebit7 2790906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really bad facial acne with my first.<br /> A few products have helped: eradikate anti bac lotion the sulphur based acne treatment in a small glass bottle. They are expensive but work. Salicylic acid is bette than benzoyl peroxide to use while pregnant (the anti bac lotion has benzoyl peroxide but I use a tiiiiiiny amount only when things are getting out of control).<br /> I also used Dr Dennis gross skincare Clarifying Colloidal Sulfur Mask. That might be even better on your chest area.<br /> Neutrogena makes their oil free acne body washes also. But sometimes they combine with exfoliation which can make acne worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-body-acne#post-2790847 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:28:15 +0000 misolee 2790847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had clear skin so this is a new one but I am getting major body acne only in the chest area. Thankfully...nothing in the face but my chest looks crazy! It has started coming up onto my neck as well.</p> <p>Any recommendations on body wash? cream? etc?<br /> I can't even wear anything below my neck bc it looks so terrible. HELP! </p>
