Hormones trigger teen acne by causing increased oil-production by the oil glands, which also causes sticky skin cells inside the pores. The combination of oil (sebum), sticky cells, and trapped bacteria (C. acnes lives in your skin) causes swelling, inflammation, and a mini explosion. Hello, acne. That’s why it’s important to keep those pores clean and free of the sticky cells (so the oil can’t get trapped). This takes maintenance, patience, and a routine.
Friction and sweat make teen acne worse, so playing sports combined with wearing masks and helmets may trigger acne. It doesn’t mean you need to stop your sports (please don’t), but getting in a good routine will help make your skin strong (that’s what we call a strong barrier) and able to withstand the irritation caused by friction and sweat. That’s also why we say not to overscrub the skin.

Yes, just because you are a teen and your skin is more resilient and strong doesn’t mean you can skip moisturizing. Keeping the skin moisturized will protect the precious skin barrier and help keep breakouts at bay. Your skin can’t fight off breakouts if it’s dehydrated. And, yes, even oily skin needs to be hydrated and moisturized. We recommend using our Spotless Peptide Serum and if you need more hydration, you can layer your favorite lightweight, oil-free moisturizer on top.

Yes, teen skin is different. It tends to be more oily and breakouts like to favor the forehead (where most of the oil glands live) and cheeks. Young skin can’t handle the rich, oil-based serums and heavy moisturizing products that are made for adult skin. Many adult skincare products also contain added ingredients and chemicals that may cause irritation and harm to young teen skin. The good news is that teen skin is more resilient and has a quicker cell turnover than adult skin, so blemishes should resolve and heal quickly.

You can use these products alone or in combination with your other favorite brands, but we suggest trying them as a 3-4 step system. Try cleansing gently once or twice a day with the Clarity Cloud Cleanser, then use the Acne Clearing Wipes, and finish with a drop of the Spotless Peptide Serum. The Pore Shrink Mask can be used a couple times a week. Feel free to add another oil-free moisturizer if needed, and don’t forget your favorite facial sunscreen.
