- niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Acne treatment (Salicylic Acid (0.5%)): Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene treat acne well, but for children under 12 it's best to check with a doctor first, and to start gently.
- Fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Teen-friendly
No ingredients we flag for teens. Acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are fine.
Helps with acne: Salicylic Acid (0.5%), Colloidal Sulfur, Niacinamide.
