Gentle skincare during pregnancy & breastfeeding

Skin in focus: Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Typical skin problems during this special phase include pregnancy acne, pigmentation spots (melasma), and dry, sensitive skin. Itching and a weakened skin barrier are also common during pregnancy. While it's normal for pregnancy to cause skin changes, it requires tailored pregnancy skincare to gently clarify and soothe the skin and maintain its balance. After birth, hormonal processes continue, which can lead to new skin problems. Acne, redness, irritation, dryness, and pigmentation changes are common during breastfeeding. During this phase, the skin also needs gentle, barrier-strengthening breastfeeding skincare.

Your new care routine

Incorporating skincare tips into your daily routine during pregnancy isn't always easy. And maintaining any skincare routine at all while breastfeeding can be challenging. On the one hand, the routine should be simple; on the other hand, your skin can suddenly react sensitively to familiar products. Additionally, ingredients like retinol and other retinoids, hydroquinone, high-dose salicylic acid, certain chemical UV filters (e.g., oxybenzone), phthalates, parabens, and strong fragrances and alcohols should be avoided. Of course, you'll also want to address any new skin problems that arise. Perhaps the following steps will help:

1. Cleanser: Hydrating Cream Cleanser and/or Calming Oil Cleanser.
2. Treatment: Our Revival Toner or our Aloe Vera Spray, as well as our Calming Mask and Rich Hydration Mask.
3. Boosters & Serums: Depending on your skin's needs, you can use our gentle boosters and serums to hydrate, combat blemishes, improve your complexion, or soothe your skin. Be sure to introduce new products gently, as your skin needs time to adjust to new active ingredients. Our customer service team is happy to assist you with selection and application.
4. Moisturizers: Our Calming Moisturizer, our more intensive Rich series with Rich Care Moisturizer & Rich Night Moisturizer, or our Balancing Gel Moisturizer with matching night care.
5. Sunscreen: Our Ultra Light SPF 50+ or ​​our Daily SPF 50+ Moisturizer with integrated hydration.

What will help your skin now

Certain active ingredients can support you with typical skin problems during pregnancy and breastfeeding. They are safe, non-irritating, and effective. Hyaluronic acid is particularly popular because it provides intense hydration, plumps the skin, and relieves feelings of tightness. Another important ingredient is niacinamide (vitamin B3), a safe and versatile active ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness, and gently balances blemishes. Soothing ingredients like panthenol and aloe vera also support sensitive skin, relieve itching, and promote regeneration, while vitamin C helps to lighten age spots and restore radiance to the complexion. Lipids such as ceramides and squalane provide additional protection by strengthening the skin barrier and preventing moisture loss.
