If you are using for acne, other safer options like azelaic, glycolic and BPO are better

Retinol should be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding as it may interfere with the process and may cause harm to the Baby.. we need to do a complete analysis and check your skin . Post that we can suggest some treatments and the topical application which will not interfere with the breast milk and will leave your skin to be glowing . You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation with us for the same.
