There’s some great new skincare in town for teens – and none of it preys on insecurities.

I really like Equals Even , a British-made line for young people. The founders are two female doctors (and mothers), not dermatologists, which feels appropriate, since frontline physicians manage more routine, everyday teen skin struggles than specialist consultants tackling severe conditions and cutting out cancers.

And their experience – pragmatic, moderate, realistic – can be seen across the small product lineup. There is an understandable focus on acne to the exclusion of other complaints, but there’s a pleasant soothing serum to restore comfort and moisture after the use of the exfoliating cleanser and toner. Overall, I think it’s a great, dependable choice. A full-routine bundle costs £100.

More fun perhaps is Rocco , the teen skincare range from presenter and art director Laura Jackson.…
