Ask your dr just to be on the safe side.

it targets your skin….not your internal organs…so dont worry about it….however if you are concerned call the number on the back of the proactive bottle and ask them…

benzoyl peroxide is safe during pregnancy and that is the main ingredient in proactive, so yes it is safe. If you still aren’t sure just ask your doctor.

if your pregnant try vitamin b5 – pantothenic acid , its non toxic and very effective and much safer than taking drugs when your pregnant.

It contains salicylic acid correct? That can be absorbed into the system and cause problems so best to stick with benzoyl peroxide until after the pregnancy.

Yes you can use proactive acne treatment while pregnant. I’m now 35 weeks pregnant and still use it. It’s harmless. You’ll be fine. Just remember your skin may be sensitive and respond to it different while pregnant. But for the most part, it should still work for you.
