@PinkElephant: My doctor said as long as you're not ingesting it, it's fine to use any over the counter acne treatment while pregnant. I used the Nutragena Oil Free acne wash/scrub every day on my face and back because it got out of control!

yep I used a sulphur based cream from sephora.

I know its $$$ but it really worked well. I have continued to use it post preg as well (I hope you're not cursed like me; my acne continued until about 4 or 5 months post partum. Fun.
But i've also used a sulphur based one from murad which I was really happy with also; sephora just happened to be out of stock that day.

I used the Belli acne spot treatment and found it to work well.

I love using coconut oil and tea tree together before bed. The coconut oil is antibacterial (although a tad bit greasy) and I've always used tea tree to clear up pimples in the past! And I love the scent of it! Then I just wash my face in the morning before I apply any makeup. Has been working great!

I use benzoyl peroxide and the bleaching factor is annoying. Although I've noticed if I use it sparingly it's not bad. My doc also said pretty much anything topical is fine, but I was still weird about it and only started using the BP again recently (now 25 weeks). I do love this scrub. It's gentle enough to use every other day and I think it's helped. It's not cheap but has lasted me months and I still have a lot left. Overall, my skin has been the worst of my life during pregnancy

@PinkElephant: if you're looking for a good tea tree oil product (that you don't have to mix/dilute), I started using this toner from The Body Shop and am really liking it so far.

I pair with a benzoyl peroxide face wash (I hear ya about the bleaching though!) that has less than 4% BP per my dermatologist. Combined they seem to be doing a pretty good job - my pregnancy acne was getting pretty bad there for a while!

@PinkElephant: I put a couple drops in about a 1/2 a tablespoon size of coconut oil! So it does dilute it a little but I have put it on my skin just normally sometimes. Doesn't really irritate it but I just love me some coconut oil!!

I got a Burt's Bees tea tree oil spot treatment thing and I don't think it helped at all. I was also too paranoid to use salysil in acid.

I have dry skin and most acne stuff makes my acne worse. So I started just putting some Neosporin or polysporin on my zits (usually after washing my face) and it heals them right up.
