Good morning,

Need some advice please, DD is 10 will be 11 in November but have noticed that she has started to get a few small spots on her face.

What skincare range is good for someone so young and she has very sensitive skin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, she is currently using Simple for moisturising would the Simple face wash be good for someone so young?

I know it sounds a bit odd but I’ve got sensitive skin but can’t tolerate Simple.

Hopefully someone will be along soon who has a suggestion Grin

My daughter who is 11 has been using body shop face wash their most mild one, aloe I think it is. It's really good hasn't dried out the skin too much. You could also try cetaphil we found that to be very mild

Sudocream is actually really good for spots, if she puts it on and instead of rubbing it in leave a thick layer on overnight it kills the infection. You could use clearisil or t-zone as generic spot creams

My son is 11 and he’s been using the Simple refreshing facial wash. No irritation to his skin. With regards to spots, I purchased the Neutrogena spot gel and it’s brilliant (even bought myself a tube just in case!). I now wouldn’t buy anything else. Neutrogena & Simple are the only 2 I personally would choose for my son as the moment (Neutrogena also do very good moisturisers) 😀
