HORMONAL BREAK-OUTS DURING PREGNANCY IS NORMAL
Up to 42% of pregnant women experience pregnancy acne, caused by increased levels of androgens (hormones) that stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oil (sebum). This excess oil, combined with hormonal fluctuations, clogs pores and leads to breakouts, often appearing on the face, chest, and back.

How Does The Multi Tasking Face Serum Treat Acne During Pregnancy?
Our team of expert doctors, GPs, and dermatologists has meticulously crafted each formula, using only the safest, pregnancy-approved ingredients. We’ve taken care of the details, so you can relax and trust that your skin is in good hands.
A biomimetic peptide derived from the upcycled by-product of cranberries. The active ingredient targets the three compartments of the skin: it strengthens the epidermal barrier function and boosts complexion radiance; it improves the quality of the dermal-epidermal junction and of the dermal matrix for an anti-wrinkle action. Compared to retinol, Peptiliumhas a more intense and more rapid efficacy while having no side effects. In efficacy tests on volunteers, after 21 days of application, Peptiliumimproved radiance and it also presented an anti-wrinkle effect. After 42 days of treatment, 100% of the volunteers considered their fine lines and wrinkles to be attenuated.
It is a biomimetic peptide that helps achieve smooth, healthy, and flawless skin. It selectively slows down the growth of Cutibacteriumacnes and deconstructs its biofilm to avoid inflammatory skin damage. It visibly reduces surface irregularities providing a smooth and blemish-banned skin. It significantly improves the appearance of pockmarks in just one month of application.
A plant derivative to offer relief, comfort and protection to the skin. Rich in nutrients including vitamins, minerals, fatty acids. With in-vivo studies available to prove its soothing skin benefits.
Hyaluronic acid with a low molecular weight which enables it to penetrate into the deep layers of the stratum corneum. Produced by fermentation in a sustainable process. It provides excellent hydration.
Algae Haematococcus Pluvialis sourced from Iceland. Astaxanthin, a powerful red antioxidant, is accumulated in high levels within this algae. Using renewable bio-technology, Haematococcus Pluvialis is grown using glacial water and 100% geothermal energy to produce the purest nutraceutical astaxanthin. All leftover oil-depleted microalgae is then upcycled, leaving Iceland's unique ecosystem entirely untouched. This potent active ingredient is proven to deliver outstanding firming, anti-wrinkle and lifting action by restoring & restructuring the skin. Also proven to significantly improve the appearance of stretch-marks.
A derivative of azelaic acid (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate), it inherits the benefits of azelaic acid as a sebum normalizing agent that improves the appearance of oily skin and brightens skin tone. Non-irritant to the skin.
Why Do Ingredients Matter During Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, hormonal changes make the skin more sensitive, which may increase absorption rates and exacerbate reactions. Certain ingredients are linked to birth defects, hormonal disruption, and developmental issues, so it’s crucial to switch to pregnancy-safe skincare products.
What Causes Acne During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy causes acne primarily due to hormonal fluctuations, especially the rise in androgens (male hormones like testosterone) that occur during pregnancy. These hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands in the skin to produce more sebum (oil). Excess oil, combined with dead skin cells and bacteria, clogs pores and leads to inflammation and breakouts.
Higher androgen levels ramp up oil production, making skin more prone to clogged pores.
While beneficial for a healthy glow, increased circulation can also fuel inflammation.
Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can disrupt skin's natural balance.
Pregnancy often causes water retention, which can trap toxins under the skin, contributing to breakouts.
Pregnancy can make skin more sensitive and reactive to environmental factors.
