Introducing the Skin Laundry Teen Acne Program
A dermatologist-developed program where breakouts meet their match.
When it comes to treating teen skin, the internet is flooded with advice—often from influencers, not experts. At Skin Laundry, we believe in setting teens up for long-term skin health with real, derm-developed solutions that work.
That’s why we created the Skin Laundry Teen Acne Program, a first-of-its-kind, expert-designed treatment protocol for teens ages 13 and up. It targets breakouts, prevents future flare-ups and helps restore skin confidence—with safe, effective treatments backed by medical science.
Read on to learn more about our latest innovation in acne care—designed to empower teens with healthier skin, lasting confidence and expert support every step of the way.

Why Teen Skincare Matters
Dermatologists agree: establishing a skincare routine in the tween and teen years can lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy skin. But viral skincare trends are leading many teens in the wrong direction.
A recent peer-reviewed study from Northwestern Medicine found that girls as young as 7 were applying up to 12 products a day—many featuring irritating active ingredients that could harm the skin. The same study revealed the top skincare videos on social media featured an average of 11 potentially irritating actives per routine—often layered in ways that could trigger irritation and lead to allergic contact dermatitis.
Dr. Roberta Del Campo, board-certified dermatologist and Chief Medical Officer at Skin Laundry, puts it plainly, “Teenage skin needs consistency, not complexity. At Skin Laundry, we created a streamlined, medically backed treatment protocol that meets teens where they are and gets them on the path to long-term skin health.”

Teen Skin Concerns
Acne is by far the most common skin concern in teens—and while it’s often seen as a “rite of passage,” that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Around 85% of teens will experience some form of acne, and for many, it can be moderate to severe.
Caused by a combination of hormonal changes, excess oil production and clogged pores, teen acne often shows up as blackheads, whiteheads or inflamed breakouts across the face, chest and back. But breakouts don’t just affect the skin—they can take a toll on confidence, self-esteem and even mental health.
At Skin Laundry, we believe acne is highly treatable with the right tools and guidance. Our approach combines professional treatments with customized skincare to help teens feel clearer, calmer and more in control of their skin journey.

What Is the Skin Laundry Teen Acne Program?
Teen skin deserves more than guesswork and overhyped skincare trends. That’s why we created a science-backed program designed specifically for teens struggling with breakouts, scarring and inflammation.
Every treatment plan is personalized—based on clinical evaluation, acne severity and skin type—by our expert medical team and laser specialists, who all work together to ensure your skin gets exactly what it needs. in their skincare journey.
For teens battling active breakouts, the focus is on calming inflammation and clearing congestion through a combination of treatments—including our Signature Facial, targeted laser technology, and exfoliating peels—to help reset and rebalance the skin.

And for teens managing acne scarring and discoloration, our Power Resurfacing and Power Duo Facials help smooth skin texture and fade dark marks—supporting long-term skin health and confidence.

Teens may also add one of our medical-grade Peels onto their Facial, both of which target specific acne-related concerns.
Revitalizer is a detoxifying carbon peel that balances oil and refines pores for clearer skin. It breaks up dead skin cells, tightens enlarged pores and delivers anti-inflammatory benefits.
Rejuvenator, a gentle chemical peel, brightens dull skin, boosts hydration and helps fade hyperpigmentation that acne can leave behind.

“Acne isn’t just about active breakouts,” says Skin Laundry’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Roberta Del Campo. “It can leave behind pigment changes and texture issues like rolling or ice pick scars. Our treatments work not only to calm current acne but to improve overall skin appearance and resilience.”
Every treatment plan is personalized—based on clinical evaluation—to meet teens where they are in their skincare journey.

Skincare That Works Between Treatments
Because what teens do at home matters just as much as what happens in the clinic, we created The Clear Skin Edit—a streamlined, dermatologist-approved skincare lineup designed to calm inflammation, treat breakouts and support clearer, stronger skin. Each product is thoughtfully selected to complement our in-clinic treatments, making it easy to build good habits and maintain results.
From gentle cleansing in the morning to chemical exfoliation at night, this edit covers all the essentials: balancing toners, antioxidant-richserum and our oil-free SPF to protect skin without clogging pores.
Available at all Skin Laundry clinics, this curated regimen simplifies skincare without sacrificing performance—because clear skin shouldn’t be complicated.
Better Skin Starts with Expert Care
Our program isn’t just about clearing acne. It’s about building good skin habits and creating a long-term partnership to support skin clarity, resilience and self-confidence through the teen years and beyond. Whether your teen is battling blackheads, painful pimples or post-acne marks, our Teen Acne Program offers a smarter, safer, derm-designed solution.
“We pride ourselves on education as much as treatment,” says Dr Del Campo. “By helping teens understand their skin and how to take care of it, we’re setting them up for a lifetime of better skin.”
