Hui Min C.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 3 months

My melasma flared up badly, so I added a Vitamin C serum and was super diligent with mineral sunscreen. It really helped keep the pigmentation in check.

No Adjustment10% moms chose this path

Siti B.. · First-time mom · Baby at 6 months

My skin didn't change much, so I just kept my gentle cleanser and moisturiser. But I became super strict with mineral SPF every single day.

Expert guidance

Some skincare actives like retinoids and high-dose salicylic acid are best paused during pregnancy. Hormonal shifts in the first trimester often trigger sensitivity, breakouts and pigmentation, so a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and daily sunscreen routine is usually enough. What matters most is checking your specific products with your gynae rather than overhauling everything.
