Good but not great
It does calm the skin, great to apply in the morning after cleansing before makeup. Only 3 stars because I guess I was looking for more hydration

Changed my redness when nothing else could
I have struggled with redness ( cheeks, nose, chin) for most of my life. I took the risk to try this out despite being a bit pricy for 7 days of serum. My skin has not looked this good in years and I am only finished with 2 of these ampoules!!! I split them up and can use 1 for Morning/Night/Morning so I am getting more use out of them but WOW are they remarkable. Cannot wait to try more from this line.

Game changer
My skin is super sensitive. What once was working now irritates my skin. However my aesthetician used this on me and then gave me some free samples to take home and try it. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! Literally all the redness is gone. My skin is looking better than ever. I have since purchased for my self .

Pregnancy safe skincare can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Babor as of 7/22/2021. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.
