Acne Treatment Systems: is it safe to use while ttc?

The reason I ask this question is because I really don't know but I want to be safe.

I want to start trying a new acne treatment "Beyond Belief" is the brand name.

I wanted to see if anybody here knows anything about if it's safe to do so....I'm approaching my fertile week and I don't want to mess it up. I would hold off starting to use it until after ovulation...... just in case

What do you girls think?

Hi!! Check the ingredients, especially the active ingredient! They say salicylic acid can cause birth defects. That's in many acne systems. The other common one, benzoyl peroxide(found in proactiv), I'm not sure about. The fact that it can bleach out the piilow you sleep on after you wash your face scares me. If you're still nervous, ask your doctor. I have terrible acne and am ttc so I'm right there with ya!

Hey girl!

It's wonderful you are checking out your options to make sure they are safe!

You definitely have to be careful with acne treatments! They can cause lots of issues in the conception/developmental stage and it's not proven that even all natural acne treatments are safe. Instead, drink plenty of water, eat right (foods high in essential fatty acids, vitamin C, folic acid, and iron, plus vitamin B6 - you can also use all natural supplements as it's very difficult to get the nutrients out of even all natural/organic foods these days ), and keep your face clean. Using an oil-free moisturizer is important, too, since an overly dry face can actually be more prone to breakouts.

Good luck!!
