A recent study by Dr. Molly Hales and colleagues at Northwestern Medicine highlighted concerns about the tween skincare trend. Researchers found that TikTok content often promotes products containing potentially irritating ingredients that may harm young skin. They examined 100 skincare routine videos from creators under 18, revealing that many products included active ingredients deemed unsafe for children. Additionally, the study criticized the high cost of these routines relative to their limited benefits, raising alarms among parents about the implications of such social media trends on youth skincare.
The most commonly recommended products in TikTok's skincare content often contain potentially irritating ingredients that can be harmful to children's sensitive skin.
Parents need to be cautious about the skincare routines promoted by young creators, as many are too expensive with minimal benefits for young skin.
