At Informed Cosmetics, we understand how important proper skincare is—especially during puberty, a time when skin issues like acne can arise. However, we recommend using our Day Cream only from around the age of 25. Here's why: it contains hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid—a powerhouse ingredient, but not suitable for every age!
Hyaluronic acid is a proven and effective ingredient, widely appreciated for its hydrating and skin-smoothing properties. It helps lock moisture into the skin, resulting in a radiant, smooth complexion.
Teens should be cautious with skincare.
Teenage skin, particularly when affected by acne, has specific needs. It tends to produce excess oil, is sensitive, and often irritated. In such cases, hyaluronic acid can sometimes overwhelm the skin barrier.
At what age is hyaluronic acid appropriate?
Hyaluronic acid is ideal for mature skin as it enhances the skin’s natural moisture levels. Products containing hyaluronic acid can be introduced into a routine starting at around 25 years of age. By this point, the skin typically begins to show the first signs of moisture loss and reduced elasticity.
For teenagers with acne, it’s best to opt for products specifically designed to address this skin concern. These often include anti-inflammatory ingredients like salicylic acid or zinc, which help regulate sebum production and calm the skin.
