Skincare for children and teenagers: when does it become harmful?

on Jan 22 2026
More and more children and teenagers are using skincare, inspired by social media. But young skin is delicate: overly aggressive ingredients — such as acids and retinol — can damage the skin barrier.

After that: start mildly with safe brands like Mayee Skincare or Loveli. In doubt? Our skin specialists provide personal advice.
