Should Sephora, the leading on-line beauty retailer, be encouraging young girls to spend their babysitting money on a $90 product containing one ounce of exfoliating acids to combat signs of aging?
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong doesn’t think so.
He is urging parents to exercise caution regarding anti-aging products marketed to children and teens on social media. According to Tong, social media is “rife with influencer content suggesting anti-aging products will help young users “achieve youthful, glowing skin.”
In a press release, Tong states, “Many of these anti-aging products contain active ingredients, including retinol and other acids, that are often unsuitable for - and potentially even harmful - to children’s skin.”
