Yes, an 18-year-old girl can absolutely use a face serum. It's not too early to incorporate a serum into a skincare routine.
Choosing the Right Serum
The key is selecting a serum appropriate for her skin type and concerns. Consider factors like:
- Skin type: Oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin will each benefit from different serum formulations.
- Skin concerns: Is she looking to address acne, dryness, aging, or other specific issues? Serums target various problems, such as hydration, acne, or signs of aging.
Several sources confirm this:
- Quora: Multiple Quora threads (https://www.quora.com/I-am-18-years-old-Can-I-use-a-face-serum, https://www.quora.com/Can-a-19-year-old-girl-use-a-face-serum) directly address the question and confirm that serum use at age 18 is perfectly acceptable. One response specifically states, "Absolutely yes! According to me a 19-year-old girl can definitely use a face serum. It's never too early to start a simple skincare routine."
- Organic Skincare: While discussing retinol, an article on organicskincare.com mentions that even those under 25 can use retinol, albeit in milder forms. This implies that serum use is suitable for younger individuals.
- Direct Statement: A source explicitly states, "Yes, at 18 years old, you can definitely use a face serum."
While some products may have age restrictions (like Latisse, which requires being 18 or older), this does not apply to all serums. Always read product labels and check for any age recommendations.
