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 StriVectin as of 4/11/2019. 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.
Note, you can learn more about StriVectin and how it works in my StriVectin Skincare Review.
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.
Pregnancy Safe Products from StriVectin

• Comforting Cream Cleanser: Malic Acid
• Glycolic Skin Reset Mask: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid
• High-Potency Wrinkle Filler: Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, this is an ingredient that mimics Botox, causing your face to relax. So it obviously must be absorbed by the skin to do this, but given it’s mechanism and lack of information regarding pregnancy safety I can’t say that it is safe to use. It is up to you to decide.

Hello. I was wondering if the old version of the Strivectin neck cream, the one with 10% lestodine complex, is safe to use during pregnancy as I haven’t been able to find any information on lestodine complex. I also asked Strivectin but they didn’t confirm whether it was safe, they just asked me to check with my doctor.
Here is the complete list of ingredients:
