What is the difference between the Beauté de Maman Face and Body Cream for blemished skin and other products on the market?
Acne is a major problem in pregnancy. The acne we see is a superficial, papular eruption that is best treated with topical products. Beauté de Maman Face and Body Cream is one of the only products specifically developed to treat acne in pregnancy. The Face and Body cream contains an herb called Melaleuca Alternifolia, which has the same effectiveness as benzoyl peroxide in its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. However, benzoyl peroxide has a terrible odor, which pregnant women are sensitive to, and it also stains clothing, sheets, and bedclothes. In addition, in order to prevent excessive drying, which benzoyl peroxide can do, we added a moisturizing base, and we also added natural botanical oils to mask any odor. Many of the well known available products contain ingredients that are NOT recommended in pregnancy such as tetracycline, salicylic acid, Retin-A, acutane, erythromycin estolate.
