Teenage acne treatment: What to consider

Teenage acne is very common and is mainly caused by hormonal changes and increased sebum production. Effective teenage acne treatment requires patience, but with the right products and routines, breakouts can be managed gently yet effectively. Acne treatment for teens differs from adult acne care, as young skin is more sensitive and reacts more easily to strong products and active ingredients.

Cleansing

Acne treatment for teens always starts with gentle, effective, and consistent cleansing. The goal is to remove excess oil without over-drying the skin. Harsh or heavily foaming cleansers can worsen teen acne. Drier acne-prone skin benefits from our Mild Milk Cleanser, while oilier skin is better suited to Gentle Gel Cleanser.

Moisturising

Moisturising is an essential part of skincare for teenage acne and should never be skipped. Laponie Light Face Cream helps support the skin’s moisture balance and regulate oil production. Teenage acne treatment is most effective when cleansing and moisturising are done consistently. If the skin still feels dry, a light face oil can be added.

Oils do not need to be avoided in teen acne care. Lightweight, well-tolerated plant oils help calm the skin and support its natural balance. When the skin receives enough hydration and nourishment, it often produces less excess oil.

Targeted care

If a basic routine of cleansing and moisturising is not enough, breakouts and inflammation can be treated more specifically with a serum or face mask. Purifying Serum is a good option when teenage acne includes clogged pores and impurities, helping to keep pores clearer without harsh exfoliating acids. Calming Serum helps reduce inflammation and redness. Our Cleansing & Balancing Face Mask can exfoliate, cleanse, soothe, and hydrate sensitive, acne-prone teenage skin without drying or irritation.
