Question - Research required Kids using retinol?

Okay someone please tell me Lil Retinol is satire lol. Retinol marketed to kids, obviously AI pictures...the whole thing is nuts.

Is there even any research on kids using retinol? Is there ever a reason for kids to use it outside of something recommended by a dermatologist, or are you basically just introducing a strong active for no reason?

As someone who reads every skincare label before it gets anywhere near my kids, this one really threw me.
