Last. Sorry, I just had a sneezing fit. This question came in when I was answering DMs, so I just want to give you guys a bird's eye view of what to avoid if you are pregnant. Oh my God. When my allergies kick in. Number one, anything over the counter retinol or vitamin A derivative like Differin, you just avoid when you're pregnant. Number two, minoxidil, which is also known as Rogaine for hair growth you avoid when you're pregnant. Number three, hydroquinone, which used to be much more readily available over the counter and still is in some areas you avoid when you are pregnant, you just drop those three things like they're hot potatoes. Now, debatable ones include things like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, but the reality is you're probably not using a ton of it on large body surface areas. And if you're using them in the form of body washes that have short contact time with your skin and you're using them for small body surface areas, you'll probably be okay.
