CeraVe released the results of a new survey it conducted, outlining that 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.
According to the CeraVe survey, three-quarters (74%) of parents say their kids are talking to them about acne, while they know their kids are gathering information online and through social media.
More than half (54%) of parents say they go to a dermatologist as a first resource, followed closely by a pediatrician (42%). 70% of parents say that they'd like more education on what products are healthy and beneficial for their children.
Dr. Latanya Benjamin, a board-certified pediatric dermatologist, said,
"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. 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."
CeraVe is working to help educate parents by partnering with dermatologists and influencers to co-create social media content outlining the “do’s and don’ts of teen and tween skincare.”
Penelope Giraud, CeraVe General Manager, said,
"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. 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."
The brand has collaborated with dermatologists and pediatricians to co-create kits with educational materials for parents and teens, which will be distributed by pediatricians nationwide.
