In reply to Sofie. Yes, we don't have any info that you need to target specific %.

In reply to Christine. Thank you so much! And any percentage is fine for the two acids? I have 2% in the Salicyic and the other one I think is 5% x

You were my saving grace whilst pregnant and I’ve been nursing now for a year just wanted to know if this sunscreen is ok? I’m SO relieved to read I can use glycolic acid and Salicylic acid as there’s so much contradiction online about percentages…does this matter? If you could check these ingredients for me in the sunscreen it would be much appreciated thank you! (The company said it’s fine but I wanted to double check with you!)

Isododecane, Octocrylene, Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl Ppg-20 Crosspolymer, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Dibutyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Bisabolol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Disodium Uridine Phosphate, Ethyl Ferulate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Glass Beads, Polyglyceryl-5 Trioleate, Silica

In reply to 15mins. I appreciate your time. I will look for the complete list of ingredients. I am not sure if the box or papers that comes with it has the list because it is all in Japanese. :( Anyway, thank you very much.

In reply to Mary. These aren't full ingredient lists, but with the licorice derivatives none will be ok for pregnancy, I can't comment on nursing.

I just ordered this stretch mark/skin firming cream. Now I’m not sure if I can even use it 🙁 I’m currently breastfeeding. I would love to know if these ingredients are safe.
