#1 Dermatologist-Recommended Skincare
Brand 1 Identifies Parents' Hot Topics to
Educate During Acne Awareness Month
NEW
YORK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- As the popularity of skincare among tweens and teens shows
no sign of slowing down, CeraVe, the #1 dermatologist-recommended
skincare brand, is committed to putting dermatologist expertise at
the forefront. According to new survey data from CeraVe
2, parents of kids ages 10-17 say acne is the top skin
concern for their child. This Acne Awareness Month, the brand
identified current skincare trends among this age group to help arm
parents with the right information to help their children make the
healthiest decisions for their skin.
With over 6 million posts on TikTok using #skincareroutine and
over 2 million using #acne, it's easy to scroll social media to
seek skincare tips and information. However, ensuring the
information is coming from credible sources, like board-certified
dermatologists, is essential before trying any new skincare hack.
According to the same CeraVe survey, three-quarters (74%) of
parents say their kids are talking to them about acne and while
they know their kids are gathering information by scrolling online,
parents are looking to healthcare professionals for their
children's skincare advice. More than half (54%) say they go to a
dermatologist as a first resource, followed closely by a
pediatrician (42%).
Still, 61% of parents say their children participate in the
skincare trends they see online, so parents want to ensure they are
equipped to help them answer any skincare questions. In fact, 70%
of them say that they'd like more education on what products are
healthy and beneficial for their children.
"As a pediatric dermatologist, acne is one of the most common
topics I address with my patients and their parents as kids start
to experience their first breakouts," said board-certified
pediatric dermatologist Dr. Latanya
Benjamin. "Each patient's acne experience is different and
caring for acne-prone skin can start at an early age, so I
encourage everyone to make sure the ingredients are
age-appropriate. I recommend a gentle routine with CeraVe products
that includes a daily cleanser and moisturizer, and when breakouts
really begin to need treatment, swapping in products that have
acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl
peroxide."
CeraVe offers a full line of Acne products developed with
ingredients to help treat and prevent acne, while restoring the
skin barrier. The CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash with 10% benzoyl
peroxide is a gentle yet effective formula for both face and body
to treat pimples and prevent new ones from forming. As many
acne-fighting active ingredients can be harsh on the skin,
especially upon first use, it is beneficial to find formulas with
hydrating and soothing ingredients backed with dermatologist
expertise. In CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash, the max-strength wash
features a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide alongside
hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides, so it does not disrupt
the skin barrier.
The first acne breakout, no matter where it appears, can be an
emotional experience and without proper care, it can continue to
impact self-esteem. In fact, 1 in 5 parents said their child has
asked about skipping a school activity or social event due to acne
and 45% of parents believe that social media has made their child
more self-conscious about their skin.
"CeraVe understands the impact that acne can have on people of
all ages and knows that having clear-looking skin is one of the
many reasons for the growing interest in skincare among younger
generations," said Penelope Giraud,
CeraVe General Manager. "We are committed to working with
dermatologists to offer a full range of products that allow
consumers of all ages to customize their skincare routines to use
what works best for them and feel confident in their skin."
Starting with Acne Awareness Month, CeraVe is on mission to help
educate parents on how to care for the skin health of their
children. In June and throughout the summer, CeraVe is partnering
with dermatologists and mommy influencers to co-create social
media content to help parents understand the dos and
don'ts of teen and tween skincare. The brand has also collaborated
with dermatologists and pediatricians to co-create kits with
educational materials for parents and teens, which will be
distributed by pediatricians nationwide.
CeraVe carries a full acne line of products designed to target
acne while providing hydrating and barrier-restoring ingredients to
the skin. The brand's full portfolio of products helps consumers of
all ages address their skincare concerns. From cleansers and
moisturizers to treatments and body washes, all of CeraVe's
formulas start with three essential ceramides to strengthen the
skin barrier while delivering quality skincare ingredients to
improve your skin. For more product information and skincare
