Pregnancy safe skincare can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from La Roche-Posay as of 3/30/2019. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

April 25, 2019 at 3:07 amHi, I’ve started using Effaclar deep cleaning foaming cream, effaclar mat moisturiser and and the effaclar anti shine mask for my acne prone skin but I’m trying for a baby? I’ve looked on your list and I don’t think I can use them. Please can you confirm? Also, if I can’t use them will it effect anything as I could be early in pregnancy?
15mins says
April 25, 2019 at 9:29 amIf they have the same ingredients as the products I’ve listed above, I would see which category your exact products fall under. Note La Roche Posay has a lot of products with very similar names. I would only use products that I have listed under pregnancy beauty.
Please refer to my Pregnancy Beauty FAQ regarding use of a product that isn’t on the “safe” list.

Are the hair products also dangerous for pregnancy, like hair treatments or fixatives?

September 15, 2019 at 4:00 pmYour hair can’t absorb anything, so you don’t need to worry about it. I would only worry about things that you apply directly to your scalp, which is pretty much just shampoo.

October 26, 2019 at 12:23 pmThe nioxin is ok
The Clinique has a chemical sunscreen, but I can’t figure out if it is really a powder or more of a cream? Powders sit on the surface of the skin really and don’t get absorbed, creams are more likely to absorb. So I guess if it’s a powder it’s fine, but if not then I’d save it for nursing.

September 12, 2019 at 7:55 pmOmg… just read on your website that the serum for darkspot of laroche posay shouldnt be consumed during pregnancy.. i wore it every day.. and my baby was born with severe hearing loss. I hope it is not linked.. i still cant find the cause as we did all kinds of genetic tests. Do you think this could have a link! Have you heard of any other issues like that?
15mins says
September 12, 2019 at 8:16 pmI haven’t heard of anything specific with regards to hearing loss for anything topical. Hearing loss is one of those things that has a LOT of things that can cause it in young children, and while the chances are good that you’ll never know why your baby has hearing loss, it is highly unlikely to be from your skincare. Things like antibiotics, other illnesses, even just issues with cartilage can cause this. I don’t think it was your skincare at all. NOPE. I would not worry about that.
