   Hello. I have just stumbled upon your website while searching for facial products safe for pregnancy. I would like to tell you that your website is very useful! However, I would like to check with you if Neutrogena’s On-the-spot acne treatment, containing benzoyl peroxide, is safe for pregnancy? Thank you in advance. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply my query. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

     No, note I reviewed the entire line as of the date above and it was left off for that reason. You can read more about which ingredients to avoid during pregnancy in my skincare ingredients to avoid post, that list includes benzoyl peroxide.

   Hi, stumbled upon this while researching safe face products to use while pregnant. I’m wanting to try the hydro boost line. Is the cleanser in this line not safe? What about the serum?

   Hi Doctor,

   Thank you for all you do! Your web site has been very helpful.

   Will you please review the Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover? I apologize if you’ve already reviewed this product; I looked at your list of ingredients to avoid and nothing on the ingredient list here jumps out at me as unsafe, but I just wanted to double-check.

   Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Dipropylene Glycol, Poloxamer 182, Allantoin, Tripotassium EDTA, Benzalkonium Chloride, Glycerin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate.

   Thank you!

     I wouldn’t use this while pregnant due to the glycolic acid, it’s ok while nursing

     This list was only for facial products, not body. I have a planned review soon for the Neutrogena products and will do the entire brand (including body and makeup) then. But this body oil is ok

   Your site has helped me so much to figure out what to use during my pregnancy! Curious about the Neutrogena light therapy mask. Thank you so much!!

     I thought it would be ok as it’s a light and not a laser, but I have some OB and Derm friends who recommend avoiding it. It’s a big unknown, and the thought is that with the treatments things are released from the cells in the area that would be able to reach the baby. I’m not sure how much this happens and if it could even be harmful (because it happens with normal cell death anyways), but that’s why the caution. I’ve kind of decided to remain neutral and tell people to ask their own doctors and decide for themselves 🙂
