My DD is almost ten and starting to have breakouts. What would be an easy skin care brand she could manage herself?

I would go for one of the Cerave face washes. They're not expensive and can be used in the shower.
I use the hydrating one as I have dry skin, but they have a foaming one and one with salycilic acid. See which one sounds the best. They also do good but effective moisturisers.
All available in Boots on Amazon etc.

Yes I was about to say Cerave. My almost 9 yr old has started to have spots on her forehead 😞 but they have 90% cleared up since using Cerave facewash.

We also have used Acnecide cream on specific areas when she has had them badly, it’s available over the counter.

This lavender water genuinely works wonders. It's very gentle too. My DS has incredibly sensitive skin but he's been fine with it. He just wipes it over with a cotton pad twice a day after washing his face and it's really helped.

my daughter has sensitive skin so she's using Witches Lab 4 step routine and it's helping along with the weekly facemasks
