Skincare during pregnancy isn’t easy to get right. There are a lot of skin care ingredients that should be avoided during pregnancy. Chances are that great night cream that you’ve used for years, the one that gives you glowy skin? Yeah, you probably can’t use that. Or the miracle gel that erases your pimples almost overnight. Your new anti-aging serum definitely has ingredients you need to avoid as well.
I’ve written about skin care routine adjustments for pregnancy in the past. And yes, you’ll need to make a lot of them while pregnant!
My general philosophy when it comes to pregnancy safe skincare is that you need to pare down to pregnancy safe basics. A simple routine that can work throughout your pregnancy. Because your hormones are going to be shifting all over the place causing fun issues like pimples, hyperpigmentation and dryness. And sometimes all at once! So, basic products you can use the entire time, then swap in treatments for that month’s fun skin issue as you need.
I put together a few routines below, as of the date that I’m writing this (October 9, 2014), the ingredient lists on either the company’s website or my own product that I purchased, was pregnancy friendly and met my criteria for pregnancy safe skincare. I’ve given you a few options when I could in each product category, so you should be able to just pick and chose products that you know work well for you or have features that you like. Don’t forget that there are more options over in my Giant List of Pregnancy Friendly Skincare Products.
Update 1/23/2017: I have reviewed updated ingredients list and links. I’ve crossed out items pictured that I’m worried about for one reason or another, usually a minor change in formulation.

Product Sent for Review, I Bought It Myself, Affiliate Links
I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
There is vitamin A derivative in kiehls avocado eye cream. Although safe in pregnancy?
It’s a beta-carotene so considered ok
Algenist Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer has alguronic acid. Is the acid safe during pregnancy ?
It is, it’s not one of the acid types we worry about
Thank you !!!
Hi! Are all Olay regenerists completely safe? Thanks!!
Not all of them! They do slight tweaks to the formula often, and it actually varies a bit by country.
Thank you SO much! I’ve been looking for a basic list such as this for weeks now. It’s straight forward to the point and tells me just when I need to know. Thank you!
Do you happen to know if the Kiehls midnight recovery concentrate is safe to use during pregnancy? It appears to be all different oils… TOO many to look up individually 😳
It’s fine! I used it throughout both of my pregnancies, and I probably have 3 bottles of it in my drawer at home. I keep buying it whenever i see it on sale, I’m obsessed!
I read that Jasmin oil is one of the essential oils to avoid during pregnancy. Kiehls midnight recovery concentrate has Jasmin extract. Just wanted to double check that it’s still safe to use. Also, is it safe to use vitamin c serum, Kiehls rose arctica lightweight cream and clarins double serum?
I’ve never found references re: jasmine oil needing to be avoided during pregnancy. I don’t have lists for the clarins and I’m not sure which vitamin c serum you are referring to, so I won’t comment on those. The rosa arctica cream is ok to use.
Kiehls midnight recovery has roaemary and jasmine which I was told to avoid
I’ve never heard anything about avoiding either of those oils and can’t find references to support that.
How about keihls dark spot corrective serum ? Can i use it during my pregnancy ?
Sadly no, it’s fine for post-pregnancy but not while pregnant. If a brand is here on the list I’ve gone through ALL of their products and only listed the safe ones. I’ll edit the post to say that 🙂
LOL And I was replying on the back end and thought I was on the post with the giant lists of products. You might want to check that one out it’s here
Hi..Is the olay day cream complete safe during pregnancy? I saw there is some paraben in the ingredients..And how about the bio oil can I use it in my face aswell? Thank you!
The Olay Complete as listed HERE looks fine to me. Parabens are widely considered safe by the medical community, they have NOT been proven to cause cancer. In fact, parabens are naturally found, so if you’re avoiding them you’ll need to stop eating blueberries.
BioOil is something you should avoid in pregnancy, it has a retinoid in it.
Are all Burts Bee’s products safe during pregnancy?
Not all.
Cetaphil gentle cleanser contains parabens ..is it really safe during pregnency?
Yes, parabens are safe! The medical community currently has no evidence to suggest otherwise. They’re naturally occurring in blueberries even.
Are SK2 Products are safe during pregnancy?
I have been using Facial Treatment Essence and SK-II Facial Treatment Mask and moisturizer.
The ingredient lists for those products are very difficult to find, so I can’t comment.
Hi! Why did you cross off the kiehls creamy eye treatment? Is it not safe?
They had a reformulation that added a salicylate to the formulation, so I can no longer recommend it. Too bad, I had previously used the product while I was pregnant myself.
Is Kiehl’s ultra facial oil-free lotion safe during pregnancy? I appreciate your help!
There’s a complete list of pregnancy safe Kiehl’s products here.
The Aveeno reconditioning night cream listed above says it has alpha hydroxyl acids in it. I thought those were not pregnancy safe.
*alpha hydroxy acids*
Where did you see that list? The ingredient list I reviewed didn’t have anything that was of concern, but when they update a formula sometimes it takes a while for the update to hit the stores websites. There are a few AHAs that are ok, citric and lactic acid.
Here’s the ingredient list I have, only a possibility of Citric acid is mentioned.
Water , Cetyl Alcohol , Glycerin , Phenyl Trimethicone , C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate , Ethylhexyl Palmitate , Cyclopentasiloxane , Stearyl Heptanoate , Ganoderma Lucidum Stem Extract Mushroom , Lentinus Edodes Extract Shiitake Mushroom , Mucor Miehei Extract , Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein , Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter , Maurita Flexuosa Fruit Oil , Glyceryl Stearate , Polyacrylate-13 , Stearyl Caprylate , Phenoxyethanol , PEG-75 Stearate , Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate , Polyisobutene , Fragrance , Methylparaben , Dimethicone Crosspolymer , Xanthan Gum , Calcium Chloride , Sodium Citrate , 1,2-Hexanediol , Caprylyl Glycol , Butylene Glycol , Ceteth-20 , Steareth-20 , Magnesium Aluminum Silicate , Polysorbate 20 , Algae Extract. May also contain: Citric Acid.
Thank you for your reply! When I click on the link above, it takes me to the product for sale on Amazon. One pic shows the back of the box, and underneath the ingredient list you quoted above, the box reads, “Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.” Is that just a reference to the citric acid? Thanks so much!
Yes, that must be just for the citric acid, because I don’t see another one listed there. I think they have to list that if there’s even the chance of an AHA now.
Does Kiehls turmeric and cranberry seed mask is safe to use during pregnancy?
I can’t comment on that as the full ingredient list is not available online
I believe that item is on her other list of Big Pregnancy Friendly Products because that was an item was thinking about getting because of its safety 🙂
Does THE BODY SHOP Vitamin C Glow-protect Lotion SPF 30 is safe to use during pregnancy?
The Body Shop’s website doesn’t have the full ingredient list. I did find this list on the ULTA website, and if this list is correct it has a salicylate in it and I wouldn’t recommend it.
I’ve been using Ultimate Miracle Worker the cream for day and retinol pads and I’m concerned 🙁
I’m already 6 months pregnant and the baby is fine.
Should I keep using this products?
there are a lot of women who don’t even think about it and use “unsafe” skincare without realizing it for their entire pregnancy. However, I would recommend changing now that you know. There are always so many “if only I had…” things that women feel guilty about later, it’s better to minimize those if you can!
is olay total effects night cream safe to use for pregnant women like me?
There are a lot of variations of that cream just in the US alone and then internationally even more, I can’t comment without knowing which specific cream you mean.
is it safe to use the cetaphil moisturizing cream for dry sensitive skin during pregnancy? i have horribly dry and sensitive skin and so far it’s the only one my skin agrees with. thanks!
If it is this cream that you’re referring to, it is fine! I used it for most of my pregnancies.
Hi I have been searching high and low for a good spf that is mineral and doesn’t leave me looking like a ghost or break me out…I loved Clarins back in the day but they changed their formula and have been searching ever since. I just dont know if this is safe or not.
Thanks!
I found this one:
AVEENO ULTRA-CALMING DAILY MOISTURIZER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30- titanium dioxide and zinc oxide lotion
Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Glyceryl Behenate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Benzyl Alcohol, Aluminum Stearate, Arachidyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Behenyl Alcohol, Alumina, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Methyldihydrojasmonate, Squalane, Arachidyl Glucoside, Dimethicone, Chlorphenesin, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether Benzoate, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Sodium Citrate, Polysorbate 60, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone (and) Methyl Ionones, Ceramide NP, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract

thank you!
hi im 6 weeks pregnancy.im using natural pacific origin serum.the ingredients are:
Active Ingredients
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Hydrogenated palm oil,Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Ficus Carica Fruit Extract, Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Argania spinosa Kernel Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract, Lemon Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, Aminobutyric acid, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata Extract, Sodium chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Adenosine
do you think its safe?pls help
Most of it is safe, but the Aminobutyric Acid at the bottom of the list confuses me, it’s basically GABA, and that’s a neurotransmitter. What’s that doing there? It’s found already in your body, but that’s strange to me. Would higher amounts hurts the baby? I have no idea with this one. I usually say to avoid use in situations like this, but it is up to you.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on masks! I am a huge fan of the Target Que Bella masks (specifically the Tea Tree and Witch Hazel one). It does wonders for my skin and is totally affordable! Only two dollars for a pouch that generally gets 2-3 uses!
I love masks in general, though usually tea tree and witch hazel go along with ingredients like salicylic acid.
Hello Christine, I am a skin care addict and I am planning for my pregnancy and has been very skeptical about my products .. so this blog s my dream come true .. can you pls let me know if skii facial treatment essence is safe during preganancy.. here are the list of ingredients I found on website

Does Charlotte Tilbury CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC CREAM safe during pregnancy?
No, it has salicylates
Is it safe to use the Cerave Body Sunscreen and Facial Sunscreen?
https://www.cerave.com/our-products/sunscreen/sunscreen-body-lotion-spf-30
https://www.cerave.com/our-products/sunscreen/sunscreen-face-lotion-spf-50
Unfortunately neither of those are safe. There’s a list of pregnancy safe skincare products here, all of the Cerave products that I consider safe are listed there. Here is a list of pregnancy safe body sunscreens and pregnancy safe face sunscreens.
I just started using the Josh Rosebrook lotion during the day and balm at night. They’ve changed my life! Hoping they’re ok ?
I don’t comment on safety without an ingredient list
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
Butylene Glycol
Xanthan Gum
Sodium Salicylate
Methylparaben
Disodium EDTA
Are these ingredients safe? It’s whats published on skii website for the facial treatment mask
They are not all safe, in particular the salicylate. Note that SK-II is one of the brands that I have reviewed already, all of their safe products are already included in the list above.
I recently picked up The Ordinary’s Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA as my new daily moisturizer. These are the ingredients posted on their site description. Is it safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
