Thanks to TikTok, teens are much more well-versed in curating the perfect skincare routine than we were as adolescents. That also means they’ve probably been asking you to buy them beauty products to replicate that glow of their favorite celebs or online influencers (whom you might not even recognize). If you’re back-to-school shopping for your middle schooler or high schooler, consider saying yes. An essential life skill is carrying out a good, healthy skincare routine, and it’s it’s never too early to get started!

It’s true that we only had a handful of healthy skincare options to choose from when we were 13 if you wanted to zap zits (does a certain grapefruit face scrub stir up any memories?). Now, there are more effective and affordable options than ever targeted for the unique needs of teen skin. Bonus: The packaging on these newer teen skincare brands are super IG-worthy, so they make for the perfect medicine cabinet #shelfie. You won’t even mind them cluttering the bathroom counter every morning. They’re that cute, trust us.
As for teen skincare product lines, there’s Bubble, a nontoxic skincare brand for teens, that makes taking care of acne actually fun — so much so, that we wish we had this brand in our younger years. The Inkey List boils things down to simple ingredients without all the fillers, keeping costs down. BTWN is also filling the gap in the young adult skincare world with eco-friendly, socially conscious, and gender-neutral products created by a dermatologist, no less. There’s a laundry list of other teen skincare brands (many available on Amazon and Target), so read on to find the best brands to stock your teenager’s bathroom with (and even your own bathroom — there is no age limit on these products!).
