Skincare by Decade: Your Teen Routine | Save 15%

Your teen routine: three simple steps that build a habit for life

Save at least €27 when you buy the three products together. Chosen by Professor Caitriona Ryan and Professor Nicola Ralph, Consultant Dermatologists and co founders of the Institute of Dermatologists.

Teenage skin rarely needs a long routine. It needs a gentle one, used every day, with sunscreen as a habit from the start. These three EltaMD products cleanse without stripping, hydrate without clogging pores and protect from UV, all suitable for oily, sensitive and breakout prone skin.

What is included

1. EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser

A gentle foaming cleanser that removes sunscreen, pollution and excess oil without stripping the skin. Clinically shown to strengthen the skin barrier in 7 days and increase the skin's water retention by 26% in 14 days. Bisabolol and ginger root extract help calm the look of redness.

2. EltaMD AM Restore

A lightweight, oil free moisturiser with hyaluronic acid. It hydrates without heaviness, helps refine the look of skin texture and tone, and sits well under sunscreen. Fragrance free and non comedogenic.

3. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 (Untinted or Tinted)

A lightweight mineral based sunscreen with 9% zinc oxide and niacinamide. Oil free and non comedogenic, so it suits skin prone to redness and breakouts. Available untinted or with a sheer universal tint.

Why this routine in your teens

Most teenage skin concerns, from shine to breakouts, are made worse by harsh cleansers and heavy creams. This routine keeps things calm and balanced instead.

There is no retinol in this routine by design. At this age the priority is a barrier that stays healthy and a daily SPF habit that will protect skin for decades.
