If your tween or teen is struggling with breakouts, you’re not alone. Hormonal changes during these years often lead to increased oil production and, unfortunately, acne.
The good news?
Managing breakouts doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. With the right skincare routine and a few carefully selected products, your teen can achieve clearer, healthier skin. We’re here to help guide you through building a gentle yet effective routine for your young one.
During the tween and teen years, the skin goes through a lot of changes. Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in sebum (oil) production, which clogs pores and leads to breakouts.
Plus, young skin can be more sensitive, so it’s important to find a balance between effective ingredients and gentle care. Let’s dive into some of the best acne products and tips to help manage and prevent those pesky breakouts.
The foundation of any good skincare routine is a gentle cleanser. For tweens and teens, it’s crucial to use an acne face wash that removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
Our Powder-to-Foam Cleanser is ideal for young, sensitive skin. Infused with Schizophyllum commune mycelium lysate and natural clays, it transforms from a powder to a creamy lather, effectively cleansing the skin without causing irritation or dryness.
Pro Tip: Make cleansing a twice-daily habit—morning and night—to keep pores clean and help prevent breakouts.
Hydration is key, even for oily or acne-prone skin. A lightweight serum helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance while targeting specific concerns like acne and inflammation.
Our Hydration Serum, featuring Schizophyllum commune ferment filtrate, provides deep hydration without feeling heavy. It balances the skin’s moisture levels, reduces fine lines, and supports a healthy skin microbiome—all while keeping breakouts in check.
Pro Tip: Apply the serum right after cleansing, while the skin is still slightly damp, to lock in moisture and boost absorption.
For teens dealing with hormonal acne or frequent breakouts, a targeted acne cream or serum like our Age Control Serum can make a significant difference. Despite its name, this serum isn’t just for mature skin—it’s formulated with Schizophyllan and Schizophyllum commune carboxymethylated beta glucan, ingredients known for their ability to reduce hormonal acne breakouts and acne spots. This gentle yet powerful formula helps keep skin clear while also delaying early signs of aging, making it a versatile addition to any young skincare routine.
Pro Tip: Apply the serum to clean skin, focusing on breakout-prone areas like the forehead, nose, and chin.
Yes, even oily or acne-prone skin needs moisture! Skipping this step can actually lead to more oil production as the skin tries to compensate for dryness.
Our Daily Moisturiser is perfect for acne-prone skin—it’s lightweight, non-greasy, and packed with nourishing ingredients. Formulated with Schizophyllum commune, Ganoderma lingzhi, and Flammulina velutipes ferment filtrates, it hydrates while shielding the skin from environmental stressors that can worsen breakouts.
Pro Tip: Use a moisturizer twice daily, after applying serum, to maintain balanced hydration and prevent the overproduction of oil.
Keeping skin hydrated throughout the day is important, especially for active teens.
Our Hydrating Face Mist is perfect for on-the-go hydration. With ingredients like Flammulina velutipes and Schizophyllum commune carboxymethylated beta-glucan, this mist offers both hydration and antioxidant protection, helping to reduce redness and keep breakouts under control.
Pro Tip: Keep the mist in their bag and spritz throughout the day—especially after sports or gym class—to keep skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
If acne scars are a concern, introducing products for acne scars into the routine can help fade them over time. Look for ingredients like natural beta glucans and antioxidant-rich mushrooms, which are found in blu beryl skincare products and are excellent for supporting skin healing and renewal.
Consistency is key when it comes to managing breakouts. Encourage your kids to stick to their skincare routine daily, and remind them that results take time. It’s also important to avoid touching the face frequently, as this can transfer bacteria and worsen breakouts.
Breakouts don’t have to be a source of stress for young teens. With the right products and a consistent skincare routine, managing acne can become much easier. blu beryl skincare offers a range of skin products for acne that are plant-based, mycelium-infused, and designed to be gentle yet effective—perfect for young skin.
