A quick note for pregnancy 🤍

The products marked pregnancy-friendly here are generally considered safe during pregnancy and nursing, based on guidance like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists'.

But I'm not a doctor, and some dermatologists are more cautious about ingredients like salicylic and glycolic acid. Please check with your OB before starting anything new.
