Proactiv - Is it safe to use?

I have been using Proactiv for years. I just found out I am pregnant, I think I about 5 weeks.

I was reading FitPregnancy Magiziene last night and it said to avoid acne medications. The article said steer clear of all oral and topical treatments that contain vit A or its derivatives, such as Accutane, Retin-A and Ronova.

It didn't mention Proactiv, but now I am concerned.

Has anybody asked this question before?

I guess every doctor is different, he said since the main ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, it was fine to use....I would talk to your doctor but I used it the whole time and my daughter is beautifully healthy Chat Icon
