Why It Works:
Our refreshing Papaya Face Cleanser is a premium blend of antioxidants and natural botanical extracts that gently cleanse and soothe the skin to leave it feeling soft and smooth. Its non-comedogenic formula is light and hydrating, making it the perfect everyday cleanser for all types of skin, including sensitive skin.
How To Use:
Wet face with lukewarm water, massage cleanser onto face with hands or fingertips, avoid eyes, rinse well. Follow up with TEENOLOGY moisturizer.
What To Expect:
Visibly clearer skin in as little as 2 weeks (based on customer reviews). Our Papaya Gentle Face Cleanser contains an effective ingredient, salicylic acid, to help you avoid acne breakouts. But don’t worry if you have sensitive skin! Our formula has less salicylic acid than some other products which might cause skin irritation, but still enough to benefit your skin, especially with our antioxidant. And when paired with deeply hydrating aloe vera and skin-brightening papaya, this makes it the perfect everyday cleanser for all skin types morning and night.
Ingredients:

Purified Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Piroctone Olamine, Salicylic Acid, Papain (Papaya Enzyme), Carica Papaya (Papaya), Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera), Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey), Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, PEG-150 Distearate, Polysorbate 20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance (Parfum)

Benefits for Active Teens & Adults:
Designed for sports, sweat, and full schedules. Daily-safe formulas keep hairline, shoulders, back, and chest clearer without drying out skin or stripping color-treated hair.

Before & After

Real teens, real skin, no filters. Results from consistent use of the full routine.

Before After

Anslie, 16

Cleared cheek breakouts in 3 weeks

"I continuedĀ to use other skin care brands over time, and it was just not good for my skin because it was breaking it out and leaving it feeling so irritated, when in reality I could have just been using TEENOLOGY, which has made my skin amazing since using it.ā€

Before After

Josh, 16

Clearer skin in 1 week.

ā€œI have only used Teenology for less than a week and I already see a major difference with my skin.ā€

Before After

Mady, 22

No more shine, no more bumps

Before After

Ella, 14

Forehead clear after 1 week

ā€We both are super happy and impressed with the results.

Silicones

Coat hair and skin in a residue that builds up and traps bacteria

Phthalates

Industrial softening chemicals linked to hormone disruption

Why parents choose Teenology

Formulated without sulfates, parabens, or pore-clogging oils — so breakouts along hairlines, foreheads, and shoulders finally have a chance to heal.

Dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin. Parents trust it because it works with their teen's body, not against it.

One simple routine — shampoo, conditioner, and body wash — replaces a shelf full of products and saves time every morning.

Your journey to clear skin + clean hair

What to expect

Day 1

You'll notice less lather

That's not a bug — it's the point. Without sulfates stripping your scalp, your hair gets clean without the harsh chemicals that cause breakouts. Stick with it.

Day 4–14

Hair + skin start to reset

Your scalp is adjusting. Oil production slows down, pores start to clear, and you may notice less breakouts on your forehead, back, and shoulders. Hair feels softer.

Day 30+

Clearer skin. Cleaner hair.

Natural botanicals and antioxidants have had time to work. Skin looks clearer, hair is shinier and more hydrated — and without the ingredients that were causing problems.

Patience is key — most customers see the biggest difference around wash 6.

For Acne but uses Acne Causing ingredients?!

I don't understand how a company who's entire purpose is for Acne safe products and states "Avoid Breakouts" on their label but uses Multiple ingredients in their product. This product alone has 9 ingredients from level 1 through 4 that are known acne causing or irritating ingredients.
My dermatologists told me to use cosdna.com to check all products before they go on my skin and glad I did on this one because 9! That's so much for claiming its acne safe. Just 1 ingredient alone can be the cause but you've got 9 so your chances are extremely high especially because many of them aren't low level. See pic attached.

Lightweight Moisturizer For Oily Skin

I am not a teen, but I have fought acne and oily skin my whole adult life. This is a nice lightweight moisturizer that helps control both. I like that it doesn’t have silicones that can clog pores. I do use something heavier around my eyes and sometimes at night, but this works for me under makeup if you let it completely soak in. Fast shipping.

Excellent detangler

Loved the detangling. Be careful though if using near the scalp area, because using the product near the scalp rather than just the ends can make clean hair look oily if you already have oily hair. The scent would be better if it were a bit lighter, as it is a little overpowering at first. It seems to fade a little after hair dries. That said, this stuff WORKS to detangle the hair. Impressed.

Grapefruit scented hair detangler and heat protectant

This comes in a generous spray bottle with cap. It sprays out well, and helps detangle hair wonderfully.It comes out clear or a little milky but goes on clear and leaves a light grapefruit scent.

Must have for break out prone teens!

My teen suffered from neck and scalp acne that we were finally able to pin on a hair product she was using. That is when we stumbled on the teenology brand. She absolutely loves this spray and she now uses it daily. Her break outs on her neck and scalp went away within a week of the switch! Bonus points for smelling great and protecting her hair from daily heat styling. Highly recommend!

Amazing Product!

This has been one of my favorite moisturizers i’ve used. So many moisturizers make my face feel sticky and it feels thick on my face but this product is very light weight. It’s perfect for my sensitive, acne prone skin due to the no scent. I would absolutely recommend this product 10/10 !!

Great for acne prone skin!

My 14 year old has been struggling with acne breakouts for a few months now. We’ve tried several different items/brands, and he seems to like the teenology line best. He’s had noticeable results after about a week of daily use. Visibly less acne breakouts and his skin is soft and hydrated.Would definitely recommend!

Helps the frizz

This works fairly well to tame my frizzy hair. Makes my hair soft and smells great. Works well to detangle my sons long hair and keeps his soft too.

Nice! Love The Combo

I ordered this for an acne-prone teen, and while we didn't notice a significant difference right away, after about a month, we started to see his acne actually decrease. He said he hasn't changed much else, so we are attributing it to this new moisturizer (t contains a salicylic acid built into it! So clever!). He has been consistently using after every shower. He says he likes that he doesn't have to wash his face nightly (or every morning) with this, but instead just after every shower so he doesn't have to think about getting up to do it right before bed when he's feeling lazy. I really can't say enough that it was a brilliant idea to combine an acne-fighting ingredient right into a moisturizer itself. I find that kids have a harder time maintaining consistent face washing routines, even when they have acne issues. So, this is a nice happy medium. Overall, I would definitely recommend this. It's no miracle cure (as he still suffers from breakouts and it didn't 100% clear up his skin), but it did clear his skin up well!

Enjoyed this product.

I have been using this product for a little while now and I do appreciate it. I straighten my hair often and use heat, so this has worked well to protect my hair. It doesn't leave my hair oily, and the scent is pleasant.

Good beginner moisturizer for younger people

This product is as good as advertised. It rubs in well and doesn't leave your face looking/feeling greasy. It says fragrance-free, but it's got a *slight* (pleasant) smell, so they probably just mean no fragrance added. It smells nice actually. This is a good product for kids just getting started on their skincare routine.

Moisturizing.

I ordered this face moisturizer for my teen daughter as part of her skincare regimen and she likes it. She uses it in the morning and at night and it is lightweight, has no fragrance, and absorbs well into the skin.

Got this for my daughter, who’s learning how to do her own hair!she says the smell is OK but works well at hydrating and protecting her hair while straightens.

Fiance approves

He isn't a teen but has been struggling to find a moisturizer he likes. He hates everything comes fragrance. Has white heads (not the cystic huge acne ) and blackheads. Oily skin. This has been perfect for him. Give moisture without it being too much. Has reduced his whiteheads.

Works great!

I got this Teenology leave-in conditioner for my daughter. She has long hair that is really fine and gets super tangled all of the time. We have major struggles with giant tangles in her hair when it's windy out......and it is always windy here where we live.This dangler works really well for getting all of the tangles out of her hair. I just put the leave-in conditioner on right after she showers and her hair is towel dried. The tangles brush out so much easier and there are a lot less tears.

Smells really good

I got this TEENOLOGY Fragrance Free Face Moisturizer for Teens for my 11-year-old daughter who has been battling acne for a little over a year now. She's been using this face moisturizer for a little over a month now and she really likes it. Even though this face moisturizer is said to be fragrance free, it does have a slight, delicate flowery smell, which she likes. She says it smooths out nicely when she applies it to her face and you don't need a lot of product to cover the whole face. This Teenology face moisturizer makes her face really soft. My daughter has pretty sensive skin and she's tried other facial products like this before. Unfortunately, these other products have made her break out or have stung when applying. This was not the case with this TEENOLOGY Fragrance Free Face Moisturizer, so it's a keeper!

Makes your hair really soft

I got this TEENOLOGY Leave-In Conditioning Detangler for my 11-year-old daughter who has thin, but very long, straight hair. She's been worried about getting split ends and having to cut her hair, so I thought she would like this leave-in conditioner. She likes how it spreads easily over the full length of her hair and that it helps her with detangling her hair after washing and conditioning. She also said that this leave-in conditioner makes her hair feel really soft and that it smells great. However, she felt the bottle was rather small. As her hair is so long, she does require quite a bit of product, so a bigger bottle would be great.

A big difference!

It helped reduce the pimples, pain, ans redness. Must use as recommended on direction. But there was a big change on my daughter's forehead. Left photo is now and right was a week ago. Her back is also so much better using the shampoo and conditioner too.

Lightweight

This is a good starting moisturizer for my granddaughter as she will be 13 soon. I want to help her to begin taking care of her skin so this is a great start for her.I like that it’s light weight so it won’t be oily or greasy as she need something different than I would being a grandmother. And the packaging looks pretty cool too so I think she’ll like that aspect as well.

It's okay..

Lightweight and absorbs nicely. Not a bad moisturizer though the pump arrived broken and I found I needed to reapply it sooner than my previous moisturizer.

This detangling spray works great and smells amazing. Easily gets the tangles out of my daughters hair which is very very thick and coarse. Highly reccomend.

Perfect for my preteen

This leave in conditioner has been perfect for my daughter. It smells great, like fruity grapefruit. My daughter has very curly hair and sometimes she gets knots very close to her scalp on the back of her head and it is very difficult to remove them. With this leave-in, I am able to brush through the knots with ease without pulling out any hair. The only reason I took away a star, is that sometimes it is difficult to spray out of the bottle.

Wow 🤩

You know what? I ordered this for my daughter and I actually like it more than any of the ones I have and I have a few high priced fancy brands. The grapefruit scent is just perfect. I love it and it works great. Leaves your hair feeling soft and sleek. Very happy with this purchase

Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-teens and adults, just like teenagers, can develop acne from harmful ingredients in hair and body care products and can avoid breakouts by using TEENOLOGY. We have many customers with adult acne who tell us that they use TEENOLOGY to control it. People of all ages use TEENOLOGY even if they don’t have acne because they love the unique scents, premium ingredients, and how it cleans their hair and makes it look and feel great.
It depends on where the acne is coming from. If your teen is breaking out on their forehead, back, chest, or shoulders — that's often caused by the sulfates and parabens in regular shampoo running down their skin in the shower. Teenology removes those ingredients entirely, which cuts off that source of breakouts. Many parents start seeing a difference within the first few weeks.
That's the sulfates — they're what creates the foam in most shampoos, and they're also what irritate skin and strip hair of moisture. Less lather doesn't mean less clean. It just means none of the harsh stuff.
Yes, totally normal. During the first 1–2 weeks, your teen's scalp is adjusting — oil production is recalibrating, and hair texture can feel a little different before it evens out. It helps to wash twice per session during this period. The second lather tends to be richer as the scalp gets used to the new routine. Most customers notice their hair feeling softer and more hydrated around wash 6.
Yes. Because Teenology is sulfate-free, it won't strip hair color the way regular shampoos do. It's actually gentler on color-treated hair than most options on the market.
Teenology is free of sulfates, parabens, pore-clogging oils, silicones, gluten, soy, and phthalates. It's formulated with aloe vera, vitamin B5, and natural botanical extracts like peppermint, comfrey, and hibiscus. Dermatologist recommended and cruelty-free.
Give it 30 days. The first week is adjustment, weeks 2–4 is when skin starts to clear and hair settles into its new routine. Consistency matters more than anything here.
It works for all ages. The formula was designed with teens in mind since their skin tends to be more reactive, but plenty of adults use it for the same reasons — clean ingredients, clear skin.
A small amount goes a long way. Wet hair thoroughly first, apply mainly to the scalp and roots, and massage for about a minute. During the first couple of weeks while the scalp adjusts, go ahead and wash twice — the lather builds more on the second round. Once the adjustment period is over, once through is usually plenty. Follow with Teenology conditioner on the lengths and ends only.

Give your teen the confidence they deserve. Every single day.

Clean, dermatologist-tested formulas that clear breakouts and restore confidence — starting with the very first wash.
