9 year old with blackheads

Ive just noticed my 9 year old son (10 in May) has started to get black heads. He just uses water on his face. Is there anything he could use to get rid of them which ia suitable for young skin but effective. I would like to get him in a routine now .

My nine year old had a couple - I used Tropic’s green face mask which drew them out.

Same problem here - my son is 11

I can’t find anybody who would give him a facial as he’s under 16

Have tried clay masks
Salicylic acid

But nothing is shifting them

I’d start using a decent gentle cleanser and a flannel to provide some exfoliation.
Good cleansers are Avene Cleanance, La Roche Posay Effeclar or CeraVe foaming cleanser.

Boots and Superdrug regularly have offers on all three brands and a little goes a long way. I bought a 300ml bottle of Avene in France in August and I still have 1/4 of a bottle left.
