I've read conflicting information but I'm not giving it up.
I saw on WebMD that salicylic acid isn't safe for pregnancy. Grr. So much information out there. I think I will start with a benzoyl peroxide to be safe.
Clear Days Ahead is 1%, I'll chat with my doctor when the day comes.

I'm glad you asked this, ironbaby, because I have minor acne and have been avoiding any prescription treatment while TTC. It's good to know that I'm not alone in my thinking.
I just started using the Clarisonic, and it has helped me a lot. I never used to remove dead skin, and that was a big problem.

A topical antibiotic was really helpful for my acne. I can't recall which one is was though. Other than that, lots of water, keeping my hands off my face, and moisturizing has been helping.
I have also heard conflicting reports on the safety of Benzoyl peroxide and saicylic acid. If I recall correctly there was a study done on mice where they were give far higher dosages of saliylic acid than would normally be absorbed into the human body, and that's where the caution came from.
I did find this study on line that covered quite a few skin care products:

My sister has cystic acne. She's used everything on earth. I know she had a lot of success with Rodan & Fields. She also tried some type of oil based thing. I forget what's called though. I've been using Phisoderm on my face. It's not my favorite but has worked much better than others. I also only use Dove bar soap on the rest of my body. It's helped clear up the acne on my back.
Until I get another BFP though, I'm going to continue using my Proactiv since it's all that has ever worked for me.
This is good to know, since Proactiv is all that's worked for me, too!
I also use and love the Belli stuff. I had used Proactiv prior to my first pregnancy, but never went back. Skin also can change dramatically because of pregnancy. My skin has never been the same.
