So, you’re pregnant and suddenly realise you have to stop using all your favourite skincare? Right. Not anymore…
In collaboration with SKN TO SKN.
What is SKN TO SKN?
SKN TO SKN is the first clinically led brand created specifically for use during all stages of motherhood – from pregnancy to breastfeeding and beyond. Designed by dermatologists, approved by GPs and trusted by mums. It was created to fill a real gap in the market.
The brand was founded by mum and former music industry executive Sara Stokes, who struggled with her own skin during pregnancy and suddenly found she could no longer use the products she relied on. Many commonly used skincare ingredients — retinol being one of the most well-known — aren’t recommended during pregnancy, and hormonal changes can also leave skin far more sensitive than usual
Frustrated by the lack of genuinely suitable alternatives, Sara began researching pregnancy-safe skincare in depth. This eventually led to collaborations with dermatologists, GPs, cosmetic chemists and women’s health professionals — and the creation of SKN TO SKN.
Why it’s different?
The range consists of four products available which form a 4-step routine but can also be used alone. All the products are 100% retinol free and don’t contain any harsh acids or ingredients which should be restricted during pregnancy. But they do feature clinically backed actives which have proven to be safe for use. Each product has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it’s safe and effective during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

My review…
I’ve been using the SKN TO SKN range daily for the past week and I’m really impressed. While the products were gifted, this review isn’t part of the collaboration – I simply wouldn’t include them if I didn’t rate them.
The cleanser is gentle but effective, removing makeup without leaving skin tight or dry. The serum and night cream feel nourishing and left my skin hydrated by morning. The day moisturiser is a standout: the sheer tint adds a healthy glow without feeling greasy. It looks dewy on application but settles beautifully – even on my shine-prone skin.
I’m not currently pregnant, but I genuinely love these products. Would I have used them during pregnancy and breastfeeding? 100%.
