What are some good alternatives to retinoids during pregnancy and what happens to your skin when you stop using them? I have been using Differin for around 8 years. I have adult acne and it is very helpful in giving me clear, smooth skin. I am not pregnant yet but my husband and I are planning to have a child. Thank you for your help.
