Treatments with acids for pregnant women

Pregnant women should avoid strong acids and retinol, but they do not have to give up gentle treatments with acids such as azelaic, lactic or almond.

Very often in pregnancy, as a result of hormonal turbulences, the skin deteriorates and painful or disfiguring spots appear, and in such situations, azelaic acid is ideal, which calms the skin, has antibacterial and seborrheic properties. In a situation where the skin is very dry, you can opt for lactic acid, which will improve the level of hydration in the deeper layers of the epidermis. When the skin is gray or oily, mandelic acid works very well.
