I am 4weeks pregnant and I have been researching the Do's and Don'ts. Well I stumbled across some things that say salicylic acid can cause birth defects.
I use DDF 2% Salicylic Wash 2 times per day and then I also put on a "primer" under my make up that contains Salicylic Acid.
Some places said that only ORAL Salicylic Acid was bad and that Topical was fine as long as you weren't soaking in it.
So now I am really worried. I want to do the best thing for my baby. Can I still follow my current skin care regiment?
