Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Glycolic acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate young skin, and children rarely need them. We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Glycolic acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate, especially alongside acne treatments. Fine for some teens, used a few times a week.
