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.

June 22, 2019 at 12:06 pmThese aren’t available in the US, so they aren’t on our Vichy website.
#1 has chemical sunscreens, a salicylate and salicylic acid derivative. All of those should be avoided while pregnant, but it is ok for nursing.
#2 and #3 are ok for pregnancy.
