Talk with your doctor, but the information I am reading says it is best to avoid retinol-containing products during pregnancy, but topical forms have not been shown to cause harm. (I wanted to give you this information so you can feel OK until you talk with your doctor; I can not guarantee the credibility of these online doctors, but they are from well-known sources):
"If you've been using a skin cream [during pregnancy] that contains a retinoid, don't panic. Retinoids have not been shown to cause problems in their topical form in pregnant women.
"There is no data to show these retinoids ingredients are harmful when used on the skin — doctors are just being extra cautious."
