It’s a tale as old as time that tweens and teens want to use the latest popular products. However, skin care is not something to mess around with. Using skin care products with ingredients like retinol and exfoliating acids can actually harm the skin if used too early or when not needed for your skin type. 

Dermatologists warn preteens and their parents that these products may damage youthful skin with ingredients like retinol and exfoliating acids that can cause skin damage, with many reporting acne, eczema, and rashes.

The best time to start using retinol for your skin is typically the mid-20's or early 30’s unless it is recommended by your dermatologist. Most Dermatologists agree that the best skincare routine for tweens and teens is light cleansers, moisturizers, and SPF.
