In recent years, pharmacy chains in Sweden have been placing age limits on certain skincare products in response to growing concerns about young people using products that may not be suitable for their skin. According to a report by Swedish Television (SVT), children and teenagers are increasingly spending money on skincare products that could potentially harm their skin.
Dermatologists in Sweden are worried about the potential increase in chronic skin diseases that could result from this trend. To address this issue, some pharmacy chains have already implemented age limits for products containing ingredients like AHA and BHA acids, as well as vitamin A and vitamin C. The goal is to prevent young people from using products that could potentially damage their skin.
However, despite these age limits, some youth are still finding ways to buy these products, often influenced by social media trends like Tiktok. This has led to concerns about young people using products that may not be suitable for their skin type and could lead to adverse effects.
The setting of age limits for certain skincare products has sparked a debate among young people in Sweden. While some believe the restrictions are necessary to protect young skin, others argue that everyone should have the right to use skincare products, regardless of age.
Overall, there is a growing awareness of the potential risks associated with strong skincare products, especially for young skin. It is essential for both parents and young people to be informed about the effects of these products and to prioritize skin health over popular trends.
