The primary concern with products containing glycolic acid during pregnancy is the potential increase in skin sensitivity and the risk of sunburn due to exfoliation. While glycolic acid is generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy when used in moderate concentrations, it’s important to be cautious.
Pregnant women should consider using products containing glycolic acid in lower concentrations.
It’s advisable to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist before incorporating products with glycolic acid into your skincare routine during pregnancy. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and medical history.
