Accidental use of retinol in daily moisturizer - second trimester
I just realized my daily moisturizer has retinol in it. I feel sick to my stomach and SO stupid. I looked up all of my other products, but because this one is Korean, I thought it was less likely to have anything bad (I have no idea why I was under that impression). The write-up on Amazon doesn't mention anything about Retinol. I only noticed when I happened to look up the ingredients.
I'm freaking out. Everything I see online is from people who didn't use something daily or only used it for a few weeks. I used it almost daily from weeks 8-16. Will I know if the baby has issues based on the anatomy scan, or is this something that I will have to watch for until my baby is a few years old and I know whether there are any developmental delays?
