Cerave help please : boots 2 for 3 :for 16 yo slight acne and oily skin.

Hello, what should I get for teenagers please, she's had foaming cleanser, gel moussant, it's boots 2 for 3 what else should I suggest from that range for acne please.

If it’s the Cerave SA range you’re looking at it’s awfully stripping, in a lot of teens it damages their skin barrier and actually ends up making things worse.

I recently broke out in spots for the first time EVER at 33 years old! I've always had more or less perfect skin so was horrified. Using the Cerave Blemish Control Face wash has cleared it up within a week. Brilliant stuff!

@MaloneMeadow really? 😱

I can't see anything that says sa on the bottle

La Roche Posay is better - the effaclor purifying face wash is great .

@Floralnomad

This one?

@Floralnomad or this gel?

It's extremely expensive the Roche

Cera ve blemish control is the only thing that has consistently worked on my skin. Even medicated wasn’t as effective.

A lot of the time with skincare you pay for what you get. From experience it’s often better to buy something higher quality once, rather than buying cheaper products which often don’t work leading you to have to purchase something different. Either way you’ll end up spending the money really

Avéne is an amazing brand - quite cheap as they’re a not for profit organisation but absolutely amazing quality French skincare, comparable to La Roche Posay. I can honestly say that it changed DD’s skin for the better overnight. Maybe take a look at their acne prone range

@MaloneMeadow thank you.

It does look impressive but still 20 a bottle

This is the sort of thing that would probably suit your DD’s skin

Aw thanks will try this on my teenage daughter. Her skin looks really sore and every time I bring it up she says I make her feel bad but don't want her skin to scar. Can't win! 😬
She says she doesn't want to be depressed on Roaccutane aw

The Avène Cicalfate cream was honestly a life changer for DD.. definitely give it a go. Any redness, dryness, breakouts etc are immensely minimised overnight - miracle stuff!! I just wish we’d found it sooner!

Nothing foaming for acne or dry skin

I like the green one moisturising cleanser

But i recommend the skin rocks app to worknout what might work

@MaloneMeadow is that a cleanser or moister isrr

It’s a set with both a bottle of cleanser and a moisturiser.

If your DD is 16 I think it would be better to let her choose what she wants

How on earth gods earth can she possibly pick her way through all this I can't even work it out.

She's been using carve be someone ages ago on here recommendation it.

@BestieNo1

My dd was on one type of antibiotics and has now changed to another type with adelne prescribed cream.

No need to be rude. Teens are very good (probably better than most adults) at doing their own research online. She’s 16, she doesn’t need you to do it for her. Certainly at that age DD and her friends were all choosing their own skincare

I'm not being rude I'm genuinely shocked that with all this choice and different combinations of products etc that a teen whose not that into skincare or make up would know what on earth to choose.

I mean people are throwing names at me on here but without the precise actual products full name, I'm struggling.

There are a million and one variations.

She's doing her hw, I'm struggling on here about to drop a lot of money.

Tbh I think you saying... Get her to do it at 16 is a challenging comment. What reply do you expect?

"oh malone...der I should have thought of that before asking on here why didn't I think of that"??

Only on mn.
