Anyone else having massive breakouts and if so, what did you do to try clear it up?

Yes witch hazel is. proactive however has an ingredient you shouldn't use when pregnant...

I use gamophen soap, it comes in a bar, it foams well clears your skin up .... literally in two days and is only $2 a bar at woolworths or the chemist

I need to buy more witch hazel, I use both the witch hazel like a toner

I took the bottles to my OB before I used Proactive and he checked all the ingredients and said it was fine, especially from the second trimester onwards. He said any warnings on their bottles are the standard warnings merely to cover their bums in case a pregnant woman did have an adverse reaction

My skin goes absoluely stupid when pregnant. Especially my back - yuk. Unfortunately, because it is the hormones causing it, there is only very limited things you can do.

You do have to be careful about what you use. I use clearasil products, but they don't really seem to do much. Unfortunately the stronger options (eg, Benzac) are a big 'no, no'. So I resign myself to crappy skin for 9months.
