QUESTION:
I have been suffering from acne for years until I started using retinol & salicylic acid products. I have just found out that I am pregnant and I understand that I cannot use these ingredients whilst being pregnant. which ingredient do you suggest I use instead?

ANSWER:
As you know retinol & salicylic acid are great exfoliating ingredients to help with breakouts, but cannot be used during pregnancy.
The exfoliating properties of glycolic acid make it a terrific choice for acne-prone skin.
Because it is derived from sugar cane and is, therefore, " natural ", it can even be used on women who are pregnant.

Here are our glycolic based products
