Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Not for kids
- Retinoid (vitamin A) (Retinol): An anti-aging and acne active children's skin doesn't need; dermatologists see red, itchy rashes in kids who use retinoids, and they make skin more sensitive to the sun.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Use with care
- Anti-aging retinoid (Retinol): Teen skin doesn't need anti-aging retinol, and it can irritate and make skin more sensitive to the sun. For pimples, adapalene (sold over the counter from age 12) is the retinoid dermatologists recommend.
Helps with acne: Niacinamide.
