Hi mommies, I ada baca comments on the somebymi (korean product) and most comments cakap skincare tu not safe,so I nak share sikit my knowledge untuk semua mommies.
p/s somebymi skincare active ingredients :-
AHA- safe
BHA (salicylic acid) - somewhat safe no proven birth defects
Niacinamide- safe
PHA- safe super gentle
so ni ada sikit info for mommies out there, pls however consult your doctor if you are unsure. or correct me if I'm wrong ?
I did a little research on skincare that is safe and not safe. Here is for everyone to read too :
Retinol : ABSOLUTE NO! jangan pakai skincare yang ada ingredient retinol, commonly found in anti-ageing skin care, pregnant women should avoid vitamin A products, including retinol, retinoic acid (Retin A), adapalene (Differin) and tazarotene (Tazorac), as they can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus
Salicylic Acid: some doctors say its okay to use sikit and there's no proven to birth defects
Hydroquinone: ABSOLUTE NO! causes birth defects ya! kebanyakkan in brightening creams.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA) : safe alternative to treat pigmentation issues during pregnancy are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), not proven to cause any birth defects. it's safe ya mommies.
Anti-ageing skin care with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy—there’s no research proving they’re a problem for topical use.
Avodenzone and oxybenzone: Commonly found in chemical sunscreens, these ingredients are normally not recommended in pregnancy.
its important to feel confident and pretty while jaga baby dalam kandungan. better research dulu skincare yang mommies pakai. Consult Dr, or even Google it. as you can see, there are plenty of products out there that will keep your skin glowing (without harming your mini me!)
just for the info mommies! kalau tak yakin always consult your doctors dulu. just sharing what i know about skincare.
