We have received a number of questions about whether any of our products are suitable for kids and teens. 

Our range of skincare products caters to adult skincare needs. With a few exceptions, our products include active ingredients that are either unsuitable for young skin, or have formulations with ingredients at concentrations that are too aggressive for younger skin.

This page includes a selection of products that can be safely used by older kids, pre-teens/tweens — broadly speaking, middle schoolers —  whose hormonal changes have not yet fully kicked in. Skin still tends to have lower oil/sebum production, the skin barrier is still maturing, and the skin biome is quite distinct from that of an adult. At this age, it is generally too early to assign a definitive "skin type."

• RECOMMENDED ROUTINE: gentle cleansing, moisturising as needed, and broad-spectrum sun protection (SPF 30 or higher) every day when exposed to UV; reapply during extended time outdoors
• DO NOT USE: exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs), retinoids (retinol, retinal, etc) or anti-aging ingredients such as growth factors, and products with added niacinamide, concentrated hyaluronic acid, vitamins C or E, collagen, peptides or coenzyme Q10. These ingredients aren’t needed in a tween’s routine, and avoiding them makes it easier to prevent unnecessary overlap across multiple products.
• When in doubt, consult your paediatrician.
