Salicylic acid (high %)
✗ Best to avoid
High-concentration salicylic acid (over 2%) in peels and treatments should be avoided during pregnancy. Oral salicylates are linked to birth defects and pregnancy complications. Low-dose topical salicylic acid in face washes may be acceptable — consult your doctor.
