    Hi! Can this be used when pregnant? Additionally, I have Oil Control Serum. Can this be used when pregnant and if so, together or should one for example use pads at night and serum during the day? I also use niactil, ultradefence gel, and sunscreen.

      Hey Malin 💌 During pregnancy and breastfeeding, your skin is under hormonal influences, and with this, the skin can change🤰🏼 During pregnancy, the general advice is not to use products that contain retinol (Vitamin A). You should also avoid active ingredients such as acids. Since the skin is extra sensitive during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you should make sure to use UV protection every day, as pigmentation can more easily occur during this period. This can be difficult to treat later if you are not good at protecting your skin. The most important thing during pregnancy is to use gentle products that moisturize and protect the skin✨💪 Since you may experience becoming more sensitive in the skin during pregnancy and breastfeeding, we always recommend sticking to a short routine morning and evening, where you focus on using minimal anti-aging products. Here, I would recommend possibly distributing the products into their own routines on different days, so that you do not over-treat the skin or the ingredients in the products "clash". ☀️Morning: 1. Cleanser 2. Niactil 4% 3. Ultradefense 4. SPF 🌙Evening: 1. Cleanser 2. Clearskin Pads 3. Oil Control Serum 4. Final moisturizer Elixir Cosmeceuticals Ultradefense Repair Gel - contains Retinoids Elixir Cosmeceuticals Oil Control Serum - contains BHA, PHA (acids) Elixir Cosmeceuticals Clearskin Pads - contains BHA, PHA, AHA (acids) Elixir Cosmeceuticals Niactil 4% - contains BHA If you are unsure about use, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor before introducing skincare during pregnancy 💌 Wishing you a nice day ahead!

      Hey there 💌 Hi! 🌸 It's always wise to be extra aware of the products you use during pregnancy 💛 Elixir Cosmeceuticals Ultradefense Repair Gel does not contain high concentrations of retinoids, and therefore Elixir considers the product safe to use during pregnancy 🤰✨ That said, the skin is often extra sensitive during this time, and how the skin reacts can vary greatly from person to person. If you have any specific concerns, we always recommend talking to your doctor or a dermatologist for an extra safe assessment 💬👩‍⚕️ Wishing you a really nice day ahead 💌
