Overheard walking past super drug. A voice saying I need wrinkle cream. Dad I'm 9 look at my wrinkles.

I think dad sat in car engine running just wanted to go home it was bitterly cold.

Is this a thing now are they manufacturing creams for children?

I think it's sad, but am I showing my age.

Absolutely daft if you ask me

Skincare is the new in thing with kids, young teens. It’s really really sad actually :(

So it's a fairly new thing. A step up from nail varnish and hair glitter which my granddaughter's love

It's ridiculous. Remember parents, we are the grown ups. They are children.

Well to be fair the Dad probably didn't have a clue , my husband would have been conned easily back in the day.

DD is 12 and loves her face masks and skin care. I don’t see the harm in it, but anti wrinkle cream is obviously a step too far.

I remember the odd face mask and clearasil for blackheads. Then Oil of Olay I was 14-15 years of old.
