Teenagers: a first routine, without overdoing it

A gentle cleanser morning and evening, a light moisturiser. That is all teenage skin needs in most cases.

Adding strong actives at the first spot often produces irritated skin that makes even more sebum.

Oily skin still needs water. Skipping this step triggers sebum overproduction and visibly worsens shine by evening.

A light, non-comedogenic texture is enough and sits well under sunscreen.

Painful, deep lesions, or ones that leave scars, are not a cosmetic matter. The earlier treatment starts, the fewer permanent marks remain.

Delaying two years trying over-the-counter products is the mistake that costs most in the long run.
