I’ve been using Bio-oil since first trimester. At 36wks now and no stretch marks so far. It even helped with my itchiness which I experienced early in the first tri. I stopped using my pimple cream. The pimple cream was not recommended for pregnant ladies. For skincare if you are really unsure, you can ask your gynae. For me, I did my research online to see what the recommendation from the brand is.

Bio oil / Clarins for stretch marks. Watson’s or guardians u can find quite a few diff types of stretch marks. I didn’t change my skin care routine. Toner & moisturiser as usual (mine is for water based etc ) If you experience any break outs Use water based / alcohol free / fragrance free etc.
I used Palmers however stretch marks are largely due to genetic so not sure if anything can help. For skin care, I avoided products with AHA and used only mild products that don't contain alcohol & fragrance (Simple, Cetaphil) and minimize using makeup as well.
I was using Palmer's brand skin therapy oil when I was pregnant. After delivery, I had minimal stretch marks. As for make up & facial products, I avoided items with paraben as ingredients (shishedo & cetaphil moisturizer)
