Finding the best skincare for teens can feel like navigating a minefield of TikTok trends, elaborate routines and products designed for much older skin. But teenagers don't need a bathroom shelf full of serums, however convincing the latest viral video might be.
On the contrary, dermatology expert Dr Sonia Khorana tells The Independent, “A good skincare routine for teens usually includes a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturiser and a sunscreen. That’s really all they need at that age.” She “would strongly advise against anything that contains retinol or exfoliating acids”, warning that these ingredients can be “extremely irritating” unless “prescribed by a doctor”.
