Face wash for 13 yr old boy

Currently, DS uses either my Clarins, DHs face wash or nothing!
I'd like to get him his own so that he uses it regularly and leaves my stuff alone Smile
Anything you would recommend? He has dyspraxia so the lid/catch needs to be easy to open.
TIA

DS1 is dyspraxic and manages to cope with the lid on the (really quite cheap) sainsbury's face wash stuff.

Thanks Cw.
Is it full of chemical though? I was hoping to get something quite gentle for now?

I've never really checked. DS1 comes out in a rash at the drop of a hat and he seems to be fine with it.

If you look in the face wash section of the supermarket you'll find plenty of reasonably cheap ones to choose from. I'm sure one would be suitable.

They all seem to have almost identical packaging, so the catches are all fairly easy to manage.

Neal's Yard stuff is amazing for sensitive skins.

My boys have used this tea tree one from the Body Shop for a couple of years, now.

I never pay full price because there is always a code around and usually one for free delivery if you spend over £5.

www.boots.com/en/Good-Things-Fresh-Start-Cleanser-150ml_1102668/ this is lovely and gentle there's a few others in the range including anti blemish.

Op, have you tried the Liz Earle cream hot cloth cleanser? Natural, gentle etc, and comes in two types of packaging. Dr Hauschka do a cream cleanser/milk and Weleda do nice cleansers. Possibly also Origins and Kiehl's, not that 'natural' but some very effective products. Sali Hughes (In the Guardian) did a column on teenage skin, a few months back. She recommended the Elemis Fresh skin, from memory.

Jealous of your DS- wish I could have used Clarins when I was 13! Smile

I recommend Arbonne FC5 face wash pure, safe & beneficial I use all their products and love them
