With that in mind, we tapped four beauty-savvy moms to share the products they loved while they were expecting. Keep scrolling to shop them for yourself.
Pregnancy-safe skin-care products that moms love
Dr. Libby’s skin went through a lot of changes during her pregnancies. “I noticed my skin became drier and I developed more acne than my baseline as well as dark spots,” she says.
Her go-to product became this brightening complex from Glytone. “It has azelaic acid and niacinamide, both pregnancy-safe skin brighteners, as well as glycolic acid, which helps exfoliate and control and treat acne,” she says. “I would use this on a cotton pad and apply it to my skin three to four times per week to help address the dark spots, acne, and texture of my skin.”
