He's getting blackheads bless him.

Any recommendations for his first face cleanser please?

Cerave, they do a blemish specific cleanser (blue and white botte) but the ones for oily skin and dry skin are also good if he has either of those issues, and these also have spot fighting ingredients I think.

My son is 12 and really likes the men’s Nivea range. They do a face scrub and a sensitive moisturiser. He does also like Clearasil for their spot treatment tube thing which he says works well on blackheads and spots. You can often get men’s skincare half price on Amazon for some reason so we usually get it from there.

dd 14 uses this too!

OP, best to stick to gentle cleansers as tween/teen skin are too sensitive for products for adults or aggressive exfoliants. So definitely avoid actives, too. Or talk to a dermatologist if you're confused about which product he should use x
