Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Urban Skin Rx as of 9/16/2024. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

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!

So what is the verdict on using the urban skin rx clear completion spot treatment in the month / time leading up to FET? One of my medications causes cystic acne. I am normally on an antibiotic to combat it but since I’m actively trying to get pregnant I am off it. My Acne is more recently likely due to all the meds and hormones from my egg retrieval. Is it okay to use this before my transfer or not really? Any suggestions on what I could try? I appreciate it!
Discussion: What about if I’m trying to conceive?
