How many other parents have noticed their teen’s growing obsession with Sephora? At first, I thought it was just a passing curiosity—like how I used to play with my mom’s makeup and stumble around in her heels. But my daughter’s knowledge went far beyond what I expected from a thirteen-year-old. I mean, I only just started using retinol last year! Still, I brushed it off, assuming she had picked up a few skincare terms from friends and their older siblings. That was until we took a recent trip to Sephora.
I needed to restock some skincare and thought it would be a fun bonding moment. But the moment we stepped inside, I was stunned by the sheer number of kids swarming the store. My daughter immediately disappeared into the aisles, and as I waded through the crowd of tweens testing moisturizers and swatching lip glosses, I couldn’t help but feel a little baffled. The real shock came when I rounded a corner to the Drunk Elephant section—only to find a kid who couldn’t have been older than twelve holding the exact product I was looking for. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a phase—it was a full-blown trend.
After we left, my mom instincts kicked in. I wasn’t entirely comfortable with my teen using retinoids and potent actives that her young skin simply doesn’t need. The thought of her overloading her delicate skin barrier with products designed for adult concerns made me uneasy. But at the same time, I didn’t want to take away the excitement of exploring skincare, especially since it had become something we could share. I wanted to guide her toward a healthier approach rather than shutting it down completely. So, I started researching and came across Evereden—a brand that felt like the perfect middle ground.
Evereden takes a science-backed approach to skincare, prioritizing clean, non-toxic ingredients formulated specifically for young, developing skin. Their commitment to safety and transparency immediately put me at ease, knowing my daughter wouldn’t be layering on harsh exfoliants or unnecessary actives. The more I read, the more I realized these products were a great option for her. It felt reassuring to find a brand that understood the balance between fun and function—letting her enjoy the experience of skincare while still protecting her skin’s natural resilience.
We ended up ordering a couple of products online together, scrolling through the site side by side as she excitedly read through the descriptions. After some careful consideration (and a little bit of playful debate), she landed on the Clear Skin Trio—a simple, effective routine that gives her that “real skincare” experience without the risk of damaging her skin.
Sure, it’s pricier than drugstore alternatives, but the peace of mind I have knowing she’s using products designed for her age group is priceless.
And when the package finally arrived? The look on her face was worth every penny. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about skincare. It’s about sharing these little moments, building trust, and reminding her that I’ll always be in her corner, ready to navigate every new obsession, trend, and phase—together.
