To capture the benefits of our brand new 15% Vitamin C + Clean Caffeine Energy Serum, we turned to the Friends of YTTP Trial Team, who dutifully applied the Energy Serum every morning for one month. Each week, we checked in on their skin concerns, goals, and the skin results they’ve seen since introducing the serum into their daily routine.

When we set out to formulate the Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial, we did it with our ethos in mind. We have one world to protect for ourselves and future generations—it’s why Youth To The People is dedicated to formulating products in California, packaging them all (even samples) in glass bottles and jars, and boxing them up with FSC-certified post-consumer recycled paper. But what about our products themselves? Enter sustainable sourcing.

Consider the following scenario: you have 30 seconds to pack your skincare essentials in a limited capacity bag for a month-long trip. In goes your daily cleanser and moisturizer, followed by eye cream and, hopefully, sunscreen. But what do you grab next? The answer is an activated, acid-based toner aimed at evening your complexion and smoothing your skin’s texture, plus a solution targeted at sloughing away dead skin cells that you can use as a more intensive exfoliation treatment a few times a week. 

The latest super tea to join the YTTP lineup is yerba mate, a tea with a history of both energizing and unifying a community. Yerba mate brings a wallop of energy, a dose of euphoria, and mega antioxidants—it has more natural caffeine than even coffee. 

When our team set out to create a one-of-a-kind exfoliating product, we wanted something that offered instant exfoliation, meaning visible, in-office level results in under two minutes—but at home.

Facials are often a luxury. They take time, a visit to the esthetician—and it used to be that a facial or dermatologist office was the only chance you’d have for a proper microdermabrasion exfoliation. That is until Youth To The People’s Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial stepped on the scene. Meet your new two-minute, at-home facial designed to give you a pro-grade treatment in the comfort of your home.

When it comes to my skin, I strive for GLOW. I'm talking luminous, see-it-through-the-Zoom-meeting, glass skin, babyface glow.  But my ideal skin texture remained elusive until the first time I tried our new Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial. This product is the answer to all my dull-skin woes! Texture is instantly smoothed. Dullness is instantly brightened. Two minutes is all it takes to get me back to my glowing, radiant self. It's that powerful.

Yerba mate is amazing; the tea made of its dried leaves and twigs has one of the highest antioxidant counts found in ingestible teas, and it also has the highest amount of caffeine. Caffeine itself is an antioxidant, and as we know, it is also a powerful stimulant. So what does caffeine do for skin?

Two minutes might not seem long on a clock, but it's all you need to give your skin the boost it needs. The new Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial wields the power of the ancient South American plant, yerba mate, to alleviate flaky, dull, and generally lackluster complexions. Alongside active enzymes sourced from tropical fruits and physical micro-exfoliants, this just-launched product works to sweep away dull skin and reveal a buttery-soft canvas.
