Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and a whole lot of changes – including changes to your skin.
Expecting moms, your skin deserves the best care during this special time. Discover pregnancy-safe skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, all perfect for keeping your skin glowing and healthy.
That’s why we recommend Skin Renewal‘s trusted products like the Lamelle Serra range, which is ideal for nourishing and protecting your skin, and the Heliocare Paediatric range, offering gentle sun protection. These products are safe for you and your baby, ensuring that you can maintain your skincare routine without worry.
According to Chris Tomassian, MD, founder of The Dermatology Collective and Kiehl’s Expert, a hormonal flux will cause many changes to your skin; you may become more acne-prone, for example, and more liable to melasma and hyperpigmentation, Tomassian notes. Visible stretch marks and dilated leg veins (known as varicose veins) are also common.
There is a rollout list of all the ingredients you seriously need to watch out for and avoid if you have a little baby brewing, like Vogue’s anti-skincare list for expecting moms that includes:
- Retin-A, Retinol, and Retinyl Palmitate
- Benzoyl Peroxide
- Essential Oils
- Salicylic Acid
- Hydroquinone
- Tazorac, Accutane
- Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate
- Formaldehyde
- Hair dye
- Chemical Sunscreens
- Botox and laser treatments
While the long list of what to steer clear of during pregnancy might seem a bit daunting, the good news is that there are loads of alternatives to keep you from sacrificing the skin results you’re after. Here are some options to consider:
Heliocare 360 Pediatrics Mineral SPF 50
It is best to turn to mineral sunscreen or titanium dioxide sunscreens while pregnant. Heliocare 360 Pediatrics Mineral is a full-spectrum sun protection formula that can be used on mommies, as well as babies and children.
Firstly, one of the main benefits of this product is that it is an ultra-fluid mineral emulsion which is easy to apply and spread. It has no whitening effect and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. It includes the Genoprotect Complex which prevents cellular damage and strengthens the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. Furthermore, it also has excellent skin and eye tolerance, making it a cry-proof option when your little darling is ready to see the light of day.
Lamelle – pregnancy-safe products:
- Lamelle Corrective Brighter Serum – Daytime Active
- Lamelle Corrective Cathepzyme – Exfoliator
- Lamelle Corrective HA Plus Serum – Daytime Active
- Lamelle Nourish Daily Cleanse – Cleanser

So, figuring out which skincare ingredients are a no-go while you’re pregnant doesn’t have to be a schlep. It just takes a few tweaks and adjustments until you welcome your little bundle of joy into the world.
If there’s ever a question or a concern, one of the skilled and knowledgeable skincare professionals over at Skin Renewal is a call or a branch visit away, and more than happy to help you find your healthy glow as you prep for motherhood.
