What are Sephora tweens?

Sephora tweens, also called Sephora kids, is a nickname for tweens who buy adult skincare, like retinol and exfoliating acids, and build long routines, often copied from online videos.

Is retinol safe for tweens and teens?

Dermatologists say retinol is generally unnecessary for young skin and can cause irritation. Use it only with a doctor's advice, for example for acne.

What skincare does a tween need?

Usually a gentle cleanser, a moisturiser and sunscreen. Dermatologists say that's enough for most young skin.

What should I do if my teen gets a rash from skincare?

Stop the product. If the rash is bad or doesn't settle, ask a doctor or dermatologist.
