I am wondering if pregnant women can use whitening cosmetics.

hello?

I am pregnant, and as time goes by, my melasma, blemishes, and freckles are only increasing. Some people tell me that functional cosmetics or whitening ingredients are bad and that I should absolutely not use them, while others say it doesn't matter and that I should just buy and use them so I don't regret it later. I am just agonizing over what I should do.

I've always had a lot of blemishes and dark spots, but now they're breaking out like crazy. Everyone is telling me to take care of them because they say if you try to get rid of them after giving birth, they will never go away if you get them during pregnancy. I'm really worried.

I used SK2 before I got pregnant, but it felt a bit too strong, and I didn't really see much in terms of functional effects. I'm worried that continuing to use it might be dangerous for my baby. However, my skin condition has gotten so bad that even my husband is telling me about it. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Are there any whitening cosmetics that are effective and safe for the baby that I can use during pregnancy?

I'm also curious to know what others think about my use of functional cosmetics.
