Don't make yourself crazy over it, just stop using it. I would probably mention it to your Dr., but I wouldn't call in a state of panic or anything- I'm sure it's not too bad.

Actually there is no proof that salicylic acid that is in a face wash is harmful. The doses that they give to the animals is like 6x that of what a human would have to injest to cause a problem. It is on the skin for such a short period of time, when you are washing, and its topical that it shouldn't cause any problems what so ever.
I used products with sal. acid with all 3 pregnancies and all babies are a ok.

I used face products with this in it all throughout my pregnancy and never had any problems. My Dr never even told me to stay away from it. I am sure you are fine.

My doctor said that products containing salicylic acid were ok. I am using them. My face right now is a disaster as it is. I can't imagine what it would look like if I didn't use them.Seems every doctor has many opinions.

I stopped using products with it - just for my own peace of mind...but I used it during my first tri without knowing.
Do what your doctor advises.

What contains accutane?
Accutane is an oral medication that is taken for acne and should never be used during pregnancy. It is the name of a drug, not an ingredient. I assume jellybean's doc meant anything containing high doses of the vitamin A derivative that is found in topical acne treatments such as Retin-A, Differin, etc. Accutane also has extremely high doses of Vitamin A. My doc is more on the conservative side and told me to stay away from all acne medications, including salicylic acid. I used salicylic acid too before having that conversation with my OB. But like other people said, every doc is different and although mine told me to stay away from it, yours might tell you it is fine. Check and see what your OB says.
