Topical Retinoids During Pregnancy

December 31, 2009
Asked By:Anonymous73 in USA

I have been using a high potency retinoid cream called Green Cream for 3 years now. I am in my early weeks of pregnancy and am concerned that there is a build up of Retinol that will harm my child should I be really worried, or do topical retinoids build up in the system? I will stop using the cream but am concerned of the harm I may have already done.
