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 Neutrogena as of 4/28/2019. 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 refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, brow products, etc. I do not review these products.
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.
Note that Neutrogena does not always list “Active Ingredients” online, so please double check your product’s ingredient list.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
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?
The safe products are mentioned above, I have reviewed the entire line as mentioned in the post. Products not on the list are not safe.
Hi Doctor! Thanks for all you do on this site!
Wondering about the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream:
Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Petrolatum, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Cetearyl Olivate, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sorbitan Olivate, Fragrance, Carbomer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Blue 1.
Looks ok
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!
This looks ok to me
Awesome – thank you so much! 🙂
Thank you so much for all you do, your site is a FANTASTIC resource for me daily 🙂
I see that a few of the Hydro Boost products are on the safe list, but was wondering about their exfoliating cleanser?
Thanks again!
Ingredients:
Water, Sodium C14-16, Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Sodium Hydrolyzed Potato Starch Dodecenylsuccinate, Acrylates Crosspolymer-4, Cellulose, Polysorbate 20, Citric Acid Sodium Benzoate, Glycolic Acid, Fragrance, Lactic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
I wouldn’t use this while pregnant due to the glycolic acid, it’s ok while nursing
Your posts are so helpful, thank you! Do you see anything in this ingredients list that would be harmful while pregnant? I’m using a cleanser with these.
Water, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Sodium Hydrolyzed Potato Starch Dodecenylsuccinate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Polyquaternium-10, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Potassium Acrylates Copolymer, Sodium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxyacetophenone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum
Looks ok!
I noticed the above has Hyaluronic Acid. Is that considered safe now?
Hyaluronic acid has always been considered safe. It is a very large molecule made naturally within your skin, it isn’t an “acid”, it has many uses but in skincare it works to hold water at the surface of the skin. It has a difficult time penetrating down into the skin (it comes “fractionated” now, which means broken up/smaller, and that can penetrate the skin, but it isn’t really thought to get into the blood stream).
Hello! This is a winderful site and thank you for your help!. I use many Neutrogena products in the safe list. I was wondering if Neutrogena Body Oil is safe preg/nursing? Thank you!
Isopropyl Myristate, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, PEG-40 Sorbitan Peroleate, Fragrance, Propylparaben, BHT
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
Thank you! I did notice you added more items including the oil! Very helpful list!
Hello! I see that you’ve posted about a few of the Hydro-Boost products but i was wondering if the Hydro-Boost Hydrating Serum is safe to use during pregnancy. The list of ingredients are below:
Water, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isododecane, Dimethiconol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Lactate, Cetearyl Olivate, Bisabolol, Chlorphenesin, Sorbitan Olivate, Sodium Pca, Fragrance, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sorbitol, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Proline, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate
I need to re-review all of Neutrogena really soon, they’ve changed a ton of stuff! This look 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 🙂
Hi doctor, thank you for all you do! Your web site has been very helpful.
I would like to ask if product below safe for pregnancy and nursing

Good afternoon. I have a question concerning one of your recommendations. On this page you have Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer listed as not safe during pregnancy (due to Gluconolactone), but it is listed as a recommended product for the basic drugstore skincare routine on a different page of your site. Has the formula changed and it is no longer an acceptable product?
Doh! I didn’t notice that, it must have been a reformulation and it didn’t dawn on me that I had put it in the basic drugstore routine somewhere else. I’ll have to fix that. Do you know which post that was?
It was this one. https://www.15minutebeauty.com/basic-pregnancy-skincare-safe-products.html
Thanks! I fixed the post 🙂

Hi Doctor,
Im still on the hunt for a daily moisturizer with sunscreen.
Would you check the safety of these please:
Healthy defense daily moisturizer with broad spectrum spf 50
Active ingredients
Avobenzone 3% Homosalate 12% Octisalate 5% Octocrylene 2.35% Oxybenzone 6%
Inactive ingredients
Water, Dimethicone, Trisiloxane, Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Behenyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Methicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pantothenic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Bht, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Styrene/acrylates Copolymer, Cetearyl Glucoside, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylisothiazolinone, Benzyl Alcohol
Neutrogena Daily moisturizer spf 15
Ingredients:
Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Benzophenone-3, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimenthicone, Diazolidinyl Urea, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60
Both of these have chemical sunscreens that I would avoid in pregnancy. I’ve only been able to find a couple of daily moisturizers with SPF that are pregnancy safe, since most of those are chemical sunscreens instead of physical sunscreens. The ones I found are here, I hope that helps!
Is the Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint pregnancy safe?

Hi
I just noticed that one of the products from Neutrogena is listed on this page both on pregnancy safe list and in the list that is unsafe for pregnancy.
Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover is listed as safe
Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser: Willow Bark (Salicylate) not safe.
But when I open the link for both it shows the same product. On Neutrogena website also these two are the same. https://www.neutrogena.com/skin/skin-cleansers/neutrogena-naturals-fresh-cleansing-makeup-remover/6802518.html
Appreciate your if you advise me about this.
Thanks
Amy
These were previously 2 products, they may have redirected one to the other. The cleanser was actually what I was using daily before my last pregnancy and I had to stop using it. They kept the one that is pregnancy and nursing safe 🙂
Hi, i would like to know if Neutrogena Hydro Boost sleeping cream, is safe to use while pregnant?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for this list. I was wondering if Neutrogenas healthy skin radiant tinted moisturizer is safe for pregnancy and nursing?

Hi, first of all thank you very much for compiling all this information and share it with us. I have a doubt in regards of the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Dry touch, which you listed as safe during pregnancy, but reading the ingredients list I found out it has
POLYHYDROXYSTEARIC ACID. This kind of acid is listed on your article “Pregnancy Skin care ingredients to avoid” as not safe during pregnancy. So I’m a little confused here. Thank you so much in advance.
That isn’t an alpha or beta hydroxy acid. Actually most things listed as acids in products don’t fall under either category. That’s actually an emulsifier/stabilizing agent found in many products and is fine.
Thank you!
This post is so useful thank you!
Could you tell me if neutrogena deep clean hydrating foaming cleanser can be used.
Many Thanks

The hydro boost gel cream contains phenoxyethanol…I was just curious what your thoughts are on this ingredient. I’ve seen many sites saying to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but I have also found that it is in almost everything. Thanks!
The medical community doesn’t think you need to avoid it currently with the evidence we have. My post on everything to avoid is here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
