I’ve always read that retinol was a big no during pregnancy due to vitamin A causing birth defects. I recently moved to Utah after first having pregnancy care in CA and the providers here are saying topical retinol is safe during pregnancy, my OB also cleared clindamycin gel for my skin. i usually trust drs, but I’m feeling so skeptical about the safety of these treatments during pregnancy when my CA drs were against the use of these compounds. is there research that supports the Utah drs position?
