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 Vichy Laboratoires as of 3/10/2019. 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, I reviewed the products and their ingredients on the Vichy site, but sometimes these products had slightly different names on different sites. I have checked and double checked that I have linked to the same products (on Amazon and DermStore) for you to easily purchase exactly the products I have screened.
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.

These aren’t available in the US, so they aren’t on our Vichy website.

#2 and #3 are ok for pregnancy.
Thank you very much! 😊

Hi , i just wanted to ask which Vichy liquid foundation is safe during pregnancy? Thank you
There are several in the list above, if you click the link it will take you to the exact products I reviewed.
Thanks, but on the market in Ireland I found only Vichy Dermablend can you please advise me if it the same and if it is safe.

It’s the same as the Vichy Dermafinish Corrective Fluid Foundation listed above under safe for pregnancy and nursing. 🙂
Dear Doctor,
Could you be so kind to review “Vichy Integral Action Anti-Stretch Mark Cream” if it is safe for pregancy?
AQUA – CYCLOPENTASILOXANE – GLYCERIN – PROPYLENE GLYCOL – STEAROXY DIMETHICONE – MYRETH-3 MYRISTATE – PROPYLENE GLYCOL DIETHYLHEXANOATE – GLYCINE SOJA OIL – HYDROXYPROLINE – C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN – PEG-100 STEARATE – CARBOMER – GLYCERYL STEARATE – DIMETHICONOL – METHYLSILANOL MANNURONATE – SODIUM HYDROXIDE – SODIUM STEAROYL GLUTAMATE – CHOLESTEROL – PHENOXYETHANOL – TOCOPHERYL ACETATE – CHLORPHENESIN – DISODIUM EDTA – HYDROGENATED LECITHIN – LAURETH-7 – CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT – BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER – POLYACRYLAMIDE
Thank you in advance!
Also, I have found this research: https://www.freecme.com/articles/123-italian-study-cautions-about-herb-use-during-pregnancy
Would you consider sweet almond oil as a not safe for pregnancy product from now on, or it is not a good enough proof?
This product is fine for pregnancy and nursing
The quality of this study is poor for drawing conclusions. Retrospective remembering what you took and when is full of errors, people lie to say what they think the researchers want, etc. Topical vs oral is also very different.
What about Normaderm Phytosolution SOS Sulphur Paste?
Aqua / Water, Sulfur, Niacinamide, Zea Mays Starch / Corn Starch, Glycolic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Argilla / Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Peg-100 Stearate, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Allantoin, Ceteareth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium Edta, Laureth-7, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyacrylamide, Ethylhexylglycerin.
This has glycolic acid. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Hello,

Ok for pregnancy and nursing
Hello, could I please double check the LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum Brightening Skin Corrector? (I think it’s listed above as just the Vitamin C Serum.) In case any ingredients have changed since last March:
Water, Ascorbic Acid, Alcohol Denat., Dipropylene Glycol Glycerin, laureth-23, Neohesperidin, Dihydrochalcone, Sodium Hydroxide, tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, pinus Pinaster Bark/bud Extract.
Looks ok!
