Is helloskin skincare safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?Updated 6 months ago
While many of our products are formulated to be gentle, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare professional before incorporating any new skincare products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
We advise against using Retinol during this special time. Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient, but it's generally recommended to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Excessive Vitamin A absorption can potentially cause birth defects, even though most skincare products contain lower concentrations. It's always best to err on the side of caution and consult your healthcare provider.
However, we highly recommend our helloskin Hibiscus Body Moisturiser, which features Shea Butter—an excellent choice for hydrating and nourishing the skin as it undergoes changes during pregnancy. It’s a safe and soothing option to support your skin through this time!
Always check with your healthcare professional to ensure your routine is as safe and effective as possible.
