Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Use with care

Vitamin C active (Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside): Dermatologists say children don't need vitamin C serums and that they can cause redness, burning, or peeling on young skin (American Academy of Dermatology, American Academy of Pediatrics). We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Teen-friendly

No ingredients we flag for teens. Acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are fine.
