Is that a gel that you apply directly to your face?

I'm not sure about that- but .I know oral acne medications are bad bad bad bad .B.A.D for pregnancy. I was taking .Doxycycline or however you spell it, &.I know that pregnant woman shouldn't take it, so .I stopped all my acne treatment when .I thought .I could be pregnant. Also, .Acutane is scary. have you heard of that sh-t? Google pictures of babies born with birth defects due to .Acutane. It's scary.


But anyway. Back on track.

I'm not sure about the benzoyl peroxide effects pregnancy.

Try googling it or something?
