Can benzoyl peroxide be used during pregnancy?
Acne during pregnancy is a skin rash that is most often caused by hormonal changes. Acne during pregnancy is a common occurrence. In fact, more than half of pregnant women may notice the appearance of acne during this delicate period. In some cases, acne can even reach a severe degree, and getting rid of it later can be difficult.
Dermatologists include benzoyl peroxide in the treatment regimen for acne vulgaris. Experts also recommend the use of topical prescription products containing benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy. Only about 5% of the active drug applied to the skin is absorbed into the body. Therefore, it is considered that such medications do not pose an increased risk of congenital defects.

When is it better to wash with Perolite soap, and when should I use Perolite Face Wash?
Acne has different forms and degrees of severity. Therefore, the choice of these products depends on the type and exacerbation of acne, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient's skin.
In any situation, if you have doubts or possibly uncomfortable feelings during the use of benzoyl peroxide, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. Only an expert can adequately assess the condition of your skin and provide qualified advice on the treatment regimen for the condition.
