Any OTC or prescribed acne drugs safe for PG?
I am totally breaking out.
I just spent the past hour searching online, and found conflicting info. about everything from benzoyl peroxide to other washes, etc.
Are you taking/using anything for acne? If so, what?

I would change your title to saying something about acne. I have seen the ladies on here discuss products many times, but I don't know the answers for you.

omg, me too. My acne is out of control. I didn't realize certain washes weren't good to use! What's awful is, I've been using toothpaste to dry them out...then I have all the flaky skin!!

They have a line at Drugstore.com called Belli which makes safe acne products for pregnancy. I didn't love the line, but others swear by it. If it makes you feel any better, you'll probably clear up by the 2nd trimester. My skin is and has been so clear since about 16 weeks.

ready2ttc, I just discovered drugstore.com is having a sale on belli- buy one, get one half off (I made it its own separate thread so that everyone sees it). I just purchased it and got free shipping too- I registered as a 'new' customer. Gotta love multiple email addys.
Ugh I've been so happy with my clear skin thanks to BCPs...that's the whole reason I loved them- oh and that AF was a lot nicer to me. Now BFP and my skin has never been worse!
Oh well! It's a trade-off!
