Sephora sued over active skincare sold to kids and teens
Cassandra CampbellEditor
A proposed class action in San Francisco says Sephora sold more than 1,600 products with acids, vitamin C derivatives, and retinoids that were marketed to children and teens without age warnings, and that creator relationships weren't clearly disclosed. Plaintiffs want changes in practice, not damages. The claims are unproven.
Why it matters
Does a 12-year-old need a retinoid? It's a real question, and one an esthetician should answer, separate from whatever the court decides.
