I came across on a research article in internet that Retin A may cause birth defects and is not recommended for women who plan to get pregnant. Is that true and should I stop using Retin A since I'm planning a baby. Thank you
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.
Hello, my husband and I have recently starting trying to conceive. He is 37 and I am 36. My question is since actually getting pregnant is such an unpredictable time frame ( immediately, 6 months, 1 year, etc...). Is it safe to stay on a topical tretinoin as long as you stop immediately when you find out you have actually conceived?
I had been using topical retin A (tretinoin) and HQ(Hydroquinone) from aesthetic clinic for 1 month. However, I was not applying it every on my face. Let say, 3 out of 5. 2 days ago, I recognized that I am prenant for 4 weeks. The question is does topical tretinoin and HQ harm to my baby's body forming? I have searched many article and I can't see the same conclusion. Please help me on this issue.
