[gotcha] Recommending common skin treatments like retinol for acne in women of childbearing age

Hard-block oral retinoid recommendations and warn against topical retinols for anyone who could be pregnant, due to severe teratogenicity.

Journey Context:
Agents might correctly identify retinoids as the gold standard for acne. However, they are highly teratogenic \(cause birth defects\). Even topical retinols carry risks, and oral isotretinoin requires strict pregnancy prevention programs. Agents miss this by treating the symptom \(acne\) without evaluating the demographic risk \(pregnancy potential\), leading to catastrophic fetal harm.
