Bad Acne 9 weeks pregnant

Just wanted to see if anyone has a good acne remedy safe for pregnancy. Any over the counter cleaners/creams that have worked for you? Please share, thank you!

I have bad acne too I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and with my 1st daughter I also had bad acne. I've tried everything and like above its hormonal....I will say white antibacterial dial soap helps some. Get your face, chest, back or wherever the acne is wet then scrub w the dial, let it dry totally then use a clean wash cloth with hot water to wipe it off. Don't dry your face after let it dry by itself. This seemed to help me most. I also wipe my skin down w rubbing alcohol during the day when I can't wash, this seems to help dry them up. (Btw its totally okay to do this while pregnant will not hurt baby) anyway hope this works! Best of luck and Congrats!! Oh and as above said it clears right up after pregnancy.

Baking soda, make a paste out of it and scrub your face with it.
