Patient's question:
I would like to ask, can pregnant women use facial cleansers, moisturizers, and other types of cosmetics?Doctor's answer:
This situation generally has little impact and there is no need to worry. You can use skincare products during pregnancy. Of course, it's best to choose those with minimal irritation, preferably natural ones. If you want to whiten your skin and minimize irritation, you can use cosmetics containing Vitamin C. Some whitening cosmetics contain retinoids or AHAs, which can be quite irritating. If you do use cosmetics, you should focus more on basic skincare, prioritizing hydration and moisturization, with whitening and spot treatment as secondary goals. If you have been using them consistently, it is now recommended to choose suitable cosmetics while also keeping up with prenatal check-ups. There is no need to worry.
