So I'm 21wks and 4days. And before I got pregnant I would use Proactiv Solution... but once I got PG I stopped using it. But lately I have been BREAKING OUT horribly! :( I was wondering are any of you ladies using Proactiv right now?

    I use a clean and clear something that also exfoliates.

    No problem :) but my Dr said proactiv is absolutely okay. I never broke put before pregnancy so I tried proactiv for first time a few months ago.. it did help but it wasn't anything amazing.. & it is like a hassle.. leave on for 3min.. wash off w warm water pat dry.. put more on.. blah ughh!!! Lol

    I was told that proactive was bad cause it had salycic acid!!!!! Lol but I'm not sure..just ask your doc..

    I love proactive! I've been using it for months and it works awesome! I'm 27 weeks and never had clearer skin before and love using it. I've tried many products and this one works best for me. But everyone is different...just Cuz for some it worked and others it didn't don't mean u shouldn't give it a try. Doc says its OK to use. Great luck Hun!

    I use proactive but once a day and it seem to keep my skin frm breaking out.

    I find nothing wrong with "salycic acid" its the only thing that gets rid of my acne... its in my face wash... plus it's only a .1-2%... to me its like walking outside and breathing in pollution or eating something that's bad for u.... but we are entitled to our opinion....

    Thanks ladies... I'll have to just ask my doctor next week. Before I got pregnant I would break out lightly and proactiv did work but it does get pricey. :-P but now that I'm pregnant I'm breaking out super bad and I hate it :( I'm like where is my pregnancy glow?!?!?!?! LOL uggh! But its worth it in the end but maybe a lil bit of clear skin dust wouldn't hurt! ;)

    i would use it if it worked before! i used pro activ a couple years ago and it cleared my skin right up. absolutely loved the mask too;) i really want to get some now but never get round to it. i would only use it once a day at the most though, same goes for every acne product because they are drying and cause more harm than good when your skin is dry and cracking

    @jenniferann2686 ... same thing happened to me.. but when I used their normal proactive kit it totally dried my face out now that I'm pregnant. I called them and they sent me out a free sample of their mild solution.. and I absolutely love it.

    They Say that the break outs are the pregnancy glow! You are producing more oil I had same problem in the beginning. I kept my same wash just started wearing powder foundation to help oilyness and now I'm fine!
