Skincare By Sydney

I originally created for moms of teens, but I use these same basic principles to create a daily skincare routine for adults- so it's shockingly helpful for adult acne too! A complete, custom skincare routine is a MUST-HAVE guide for people with all ages with breakouts since skincare is the foundation of long-term clear skin. Plus this plan can decrease the need for antibiotics, especially in the long term.

Great question! While both options offer valuable guidance, the Teen Skincare 101 Course delves into more comprehensive and detailed information that may not be covered in a single 1:1 session due to time constraints. The course provides a wealth of knowledge and resources for long-term skincare success. If your teen is struggling with acne, whether on prescriptions or not, I highly recommend the course because it equips you with extensive information. In some cases, you may still benefit from scheduling a 1:1 session or seeking further assistance at your local dermatology clinic as a follow-up to the course. Rest assured, we're here to support you every step of the way!

Gradual improvement over 6-8 weeks is the goal for treating breakouts based on the skin cell life cycle. It takes 3-4 months to see the results we really, really want (so much like starting a workout routine!). This is the same timeline for prescription treatment as well.

This course does guarantee a complete, custom skincare routine, which sets the foundation for clear skin and is not usually provided at an insurance visit. The truth is many teens need prescriptions. After 6-8 weeks of implementing these steps, if you aren’t seeing gradual improvement (fewer breakouts, less often that are less inflamed and clear quicker), I recommend scheduling with your local dermatology office or considering a 1:1 consult with me for custom adjustments. The skincare routine will serve as a foundation for your and your teen's skin health either way.

Yes, but only 1-2 steps so I'll show you the foundational steps then you can edit up from there based on your teen's skincare interest.

The great thing about the Teen Skincare 101 Course is that it is designed to be completed at your own pace. You have the flexibility to go through the course modules and lessons at a speed that works best for you. Whether you prefer to dive in and complete it in a shorter timeframe or spread it out over a longer period, the choice is yours. We understand that everyone has different schedules and commitments, so we want to ensure that you can comfortably navigate the course and absorb the valuable information at a pace that suits you best.

You'll receive links to the best products at the drugstore in a google sheet that I update regularly because I use these links when I meet with teens 1:1. Plus, there are a few that don't have drugstore dupes, so I give links to the recommended products at both price point options. (I know sometimes we need a product ASAP, so knowing which to purchase at the drugstore is key!)

You also receive a 20% off discount code to use in the SBS product shop. I'm a believer that skincare doesn't have to be expensive.

Once you purchase, you’ll have immediate access to our online course platform to create an account with your preferred email and password then it will take you to the portal where you can access the course instantly.

The course information compliments prescriptions, but for best success, I typically recommend a 1:1 skincare consult to address the complete picture. I would always ask the prescriber which cleanser and moisturizers they prefer first. If you aren't getting a great answer, I created this course to fill that gap- because I know the time constraints of treating patients in clinic, but I've also been the patient looking for answers and getting nowhere.
